<div class="IPBDescription">voice_tweak</div> I am having a problem with the voice chat. When I use the voice chat there is a constant buzzing sound in the background which makes it difficult for people to hear what I say.

I think “voice_tweak” is the source of the problem. When I try to configure the microphone in “voice_tweak” there is a little checked box in the bottom that says: Enable +20dB hardware gain (leave checked if unsure). It is checked by default. It seems this is the source of the problem, because when it is checked the buzzing is there. And when it’s not, the sounds perfect. Now, this is what I need your help with: I’m not able to uncheck the box. I uncheck the box and click the ok button, but when I enter “voice_tweak” it is still checked. And the buzzing is still therewhen I’m in the game.

Can some one please help me?

umm, the +20db is input gain, if you uncheck it no one is gona be able to hear you.

that buzz, is probably feed back, do you use headphones, speakers? how far away is your mic from your speakers?

oh, and if you REALLY wana change it, try poking around in your config.cfg and seeing if you can find a likely var (it will be on probably) and turn it off there

if the sound level is high enough without 20dB mic boost (which I somehow doubt, but hey if it is, it is), then you can turn it off in your windows sound settings. That should override the voice tweak utility (but don't run the voice tweak after doing so just in case!)

hmm, what sound card are you running?

I know that SBLive comes with a program that alows you to tweak with the mic input (also alowing a +20db gain) if you have 2 things giving you gain that might do some thing (then ahgain, that buzz would probably be a high pitched shriek then)

I know it isn’t feed back and nothing is wrong with the mic I have checked.

I have to increase the volume a bit when +20db hardware gain is unchecked and then I sound fine in “voice_tweak”. Isn’t the way I sound in “voice_tweak” approximately the same way I will sound in game?

Where do I turn off the +20db hardware gain in my windows settings? I dint find it, I am using XP. Can you tell me where I can fine it please?

Ooh and I am using an Advance AC97 audio integrated in to my mainboard.

ok, to hear your self in game use voiceloopback 1

to find the check box dbl click on the spkr in your sys tray, go to file->properties. There should be a scroll list of check boxes. One is mic, make sure it is checked. Then on the main display under the mic column there is advanced, there yah go <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Well ok

voiceloopback 1 worked. it made testing much easier.

Changing windows sound settings didn’t work. It didn’t override the “voice_tweak” settings.

Editing config.cfg file didn’t help. (I didn’t find anything there at least)

I can’t think of any thing more that is relevant. I would still like to know if there is any other ways to turn off the +20db hardware gain. I would also be interested to know of other possible reasons for this problem.
