And an admin question.
The communciation questions comes from the fact that ever since one week after NS came out, having played it that long, I have never once had a working, aduible, understandable voice com set up. When people /can/ hear me, they describe it with such savory words as "Crappy" "staticy" and "my ears are being raped". Most of the time, however, they cant hear me at all.
I use a microsoft plantronics headset-mic, I know for a fact it's plugged up right, and I run windows 2000. I raised my sound settings mic volume, my CARDS Mic volume, which is a sound blaster 5.1 surrond platnium, and finally that voice transmit volume setting in NS I found a few weeks ago. Nothing. The headset seems not to transmit at all, and when I use a hand held mic, the crappy transmission insues.
The other question might not fit here, but I didnt' know where else to put it. Anyone know where i can go to find an EASY TO UNDERSTAND admining lesson? I mean i Have no idea how to be an admin, what the commands are or do, where to even get a LIST of commands...my admin skill starts and starts with sv_cheats 1. Threads? Sites? Downloads? ALL of the above?
Any help with either would be greatly appriciated.

If you mean commands for AdminMod, go to console and type admin_help.
You can also select test hardware in your audio/voice properties to see if its your mic or your net.
There is plenty of admin advice on www.planethalf-life.com if you look. More specific questions can be answered on the valve admin mailing list or in the relevent forum here...
