    Is it a USB mic or just 1/8" minijack? Are you running some special mic software that you could turn off? Have you run the voice_tweak utility from the Half-Life folder?

    Do you have it bound to the same key as your ingame voice? Don't run both at the same time.

    I am also experiencing this problem, but mine is via the 1/8 jack on my Audigy2 Platinum.

    It works in Windows, and in the HL setup program. just not in NS 2.0. It was working fine in previous NS games, and I have not changed any audio configurations.

    I get a '!' symbol over the speaker icon that pops up when you press the voice button, but no audio... My binds are fine too, I don't get it....

    Not to ask insulting questions, but have you checked to see if it worked out of NS lately? Aka no loose wires, mike not muted via a switch on hardware, etc. If you are seeing the ! ingame, there's not much we can do for you, as you are configured fine by our standards.

    My post clearly says it works in windows, and in the HL mic setup application...yes it's working out of game. it doesnt work in NS 2.0... I'm quite Tech savvy ya know <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I just find it odd it stops working when 2.0 was installed. never a problem before.

    If you're referring to the mic jack on the live drive on the *front* of your PC, then it won't work. This is a problem with the latest HL voice software. When you run the voice setup program it will let you select the front port, but once you leave the setup program it defaults back to mic1 which is on the PCI card.

    ok its a 1/8th plug. Works perfect in voice_tweak. No special software. Bound to totally different keys. I get the ! symbol and they say it breaks up or something so they told me to add "+voice d_sound 0" to my command line to help but it didn't work. I just updated my drivers so at least it breaks up in HL. I use a Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer. Help.

    It's my BACK 1/8 audio jack, I know all about the annoying quirks that shift the mic, it's annoying so I keep my mic at the back. It's never been a problem before.

    I'm on a DSL, it's not a connection issue, speed issue, hardware issue, this all went to **** when NS2 was installed, so one would imagine it has something to do with it.

    So to be perfectly clear here,

    Is the problem that you don't transmit AT ALL or is the problem that the transmission is broken up or garbled? Also, does this happen in any other HL mods or just NS?

    System specs could possibly be of use here as well.

    ARGGGG...

    /me takes deep breaths

    One person at a time. Atrimus - does it work at all or does it come in broken and garbled? When you depress your push-to-talk key in game, does it show the '\!/" marker on the screen? And as asked previously, do you have any other voice software running and bound to that same PTT key?

    Briguy - if it's coming in garbled and broken in all mods, do you know if it has ever worked in game ever? Like via roger wilco or teamspeak?

    And please, for the love of god, stop asking for help and simultaneously telling us how you don't need help, Atrimus. Seriously, it's obnoxious and makes us all want to leave you hanging.

    Also, for the guy who was breaking up-

    Make sure your framerate is at least 20. If it drops below that, you break up, A LOT.

    It doesn't work AT ALL, I'm giving you all the info I can, it doesn't work _period_ and it only shows the \!/ while I press the button, when released it goes away. I have NO OTHER VOICE PROGS running.

    Regarding the obnoxious stuff, sorry I get aggrivated when I keep seeing questions I've already answered being asked again. There's really nothing else I can tell you about the problem, but it is directly linked to NS2. I 've done all kinds of testing before coming here, comes with the IT background. If we can find a fix, great.

    I think both of our characters have been misunderstood, my appologies on my behalf. The sarcastic winks can be left out this time, k? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
