Mic Calibration Problem

Featured Replies

In trying to set up my headset microphone, I keep getting a message"there were problems setting up....." something to do with low levels / high background noise, and I get no audio in the recorded sample play back. This despite the fact that in the TeamSpeak software, the sound tests just fine. It's a high quality gaming headset, Plantronics GameCom Pro 1, so I don't think it's a quality issue. I have checked the mic levels in Windows Sound Recorder, etc...it's all working. But I have yet to try to contact a controller to do a 'radio check.' Perhaps I should try that? Please advise.http://www.my-buddy-icon.com/Icons/objects/red_3d_plane.gifAlex ChristoffN562ZBaltimore, MD

Hi Alex,which program are you using? SB3, FSInn, ASRC, VRC?The voice set-up software seems to be very sensitive to background noise. I usually flick the mute switch to "on" on the microphone when I'm doing the background noise test, so that it doesn't pick up noises such as the computer fan. Also try speaking louder than normal to see if you can trick it into thinking the balance is rightRuthVice president Communications, VATSIM
