Voip only works few rounds

Serbiak · 02-17-2008, 02:20 PM

Hi
I have a Problem with my voip.
After a few rounds especially when I switch servers several times, my mic/voip does not work anymore at all.
I first thought my mic was broken but when I restart PR it works again, so it has to be a PR bug.
And there was Voip on those servers since I heard others talk over voip
When I press the "b" button it does not even show me the green symbol anymore.
I had this several times already. It would be nice I anyone could help me with that.

Thanks

same as above
a solution (rebooting is not a solution) would be nice

you could try to reset the controls if that wont help try messing with the voip itself

This seems to happen to my m8 as well....are you running an external voice program aswell, such as teamspeak or ventrilo? Also, if it's Windows Vista you're running, try running the program as an administrator by right-clicking on the icon before you launch the game.

I did that already but it does not help and I think it cannot be the reason, because the VoIP works at the beginning and after you restart the game without changing the settings.
I´m not sure what you mean by messing with the VoIP itself.

I´m just using the PR VoIP and no other programs paralell.

I use Windows XP and there I am the only user and administrator of cause too.

Thanks for your help but unluckily nothing worked so far.

You could try changing the audio acceleration in dxdiag (didn't work for me but it's worth a try)

Same thing happens to me try using Alt + Tab and using volume control and unmuting your mic thats what happens to me.

maybe there is some kind of shortcut that switches the mic off - like key bindings of an additional sound program provided by your audio driver

other than that maybe an auto-detection whether the mic is plugged in (some audio controlers "feature" it) and it doesn't work correctly

while at it, maybe you can look for up-to-date audio drivers

Yeah this happened to me just now. Played I think 2 maps (1 round each map) for about 3 hours overall, when the map changes after that I join a squad and when I press B I don't get an icon at all. Didn't have anything like vent or TS open either.

Using an X-Fi Gamer (Which is great btw, the sounds in this game are stunning) with a Sennheiser PC160 headset (Or PC161 or whatever, I forgot - it's the non-USB version), up until that point my VOIP was working fine but suddenly nothing, nada. The fact that there was no icon showing up at all indicates that it's more a problem with the game than the hardware anyway.

Sort of ruined my game since a non-VOIP PR to me is pointless, so I thought I'd just bump this thread up a bit. Cheers.

i had probs with voip for ages, then, after trying any settings, buying new router, new soundcard and nothing helped, i bought a headset with integrated soundcard. all is running fine since then. so, i dont say it will help but if you can spend the 30 bucks for such a headset and you think its worth a try...
to whitlow, did disable your pc-soundcard if your senheiser comes up with a autarc soundcard?
