instructions are telling me i need to check a 20db microphone boost to get Teamspeak going



but these instructions don't follow true on my Vistahp. can someone translate them?

_________________

control panel -> switch to classic -> Sound -> Click Recording Tab -> Select Microphone Properties -> Custom tab should have +20 boost

all true till the end bit, there is no custom tab. I get 3 more tabs after clicking properties (General,Levels and Advanced) Closest thing to adjustments other than volume is in Advanced: a drop down for format (channel 16 bit etc) (wondered if being a Vista 32 bit with a 16bit confuddle...but i'd be talkin out of the wrong orifice lol)

and that repeat key bell, sheez, i used to turn that off in XP by typing 'repeat key' in help, but i cant do that now :s

:s

My mic booost in Vista would be under levels, then second option down on there.

Wat sound card and what mic you got, maybe if its a creative and you ghave the audio console enabled it isnt set to sync with windows settings, (should be an opton in the audio console)

thanks fellas, for trying



I only got 1 option: 'Headset Microphone' - a vol slider



eek, ermmm, i got a C-Media CM6501 Like Sound Device , yes, i think that is the sound card and a Logitech USB headset.

sooo... how do i check my sound card is in sync?

I've got a CM6501 sound config program in Control Panel, that just has pretty pics of various speaker arrrangements. i cant select the headphone button in there for some reason. i dont think that is it.

Umm couldnt say with that sound card, mines an x-fi, and sennys, and the craetive has its own bit of software on top for effects, but has an option to sync.

Had a look on their site and checked their drivers, cos if its an onboard sound maybe a windows drivers update has screwed it....had that problem with the creative.

For no good reason either. I haven't done anything different. Weird. Sure i had things set right.

Anyway, thanks for trying.
