A "new" Voice Problem

Bar_Giora

Voice works well in all of my mods but two, Natural Selection and Battlegrounds. For both, I get the same error and while living without voice in BG is simple, its definately not the same with NS. The error is

<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Unable to initialize DirectSoundCapture.  Trying waveIn.ERROR VoiceRecord_WaveIn: waveinOpen

It looks like something is taking up something voice comm needs. Ambient noises from the game, maybe? BTW, I have a TBS Montegro 2 sound card.....working on finding new drivers for it as I havent tried updating, but its ability to work in other mods leads me to believe its not the driver.

Any thoughts?

attempt to kill all unnecesary background proceses then try, this might do it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

An update.....

I tracked down updates for A3D and new drivers for my sound card and no longer get that error! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I can see the icon of when someone is useing voice. I get SOMETHING out of my speakers when they speak, but its all very high pitched electronic noise. not a kind of feedback, but just high pitched gibberish. I've also listened to that while similtaniously listening to the actual person on voice through the phone of my friend and fellow NS player, and it doesn't squeek when they speak, but its just random noise. Such a pain.......also tried turning off A3D and that didn't do it. And for background processes I only run HL and CD when I play. Still hacking away at it.
