This thread title needs to be changed to "Mxy Q&A"

That reminds me about the fact that the first post was made by (BFM Forum Admin) ChainDog by his copying MY first post in this thread that I started IN THE OLD BFM FORUMS.  (Note citation at start of post.)

And YES, it was from the LAST "old forums" not the two before that one!*

Anyway, what that means is that I CANNOT EDIT the first post to try to move some of the later advice into the first post for better use for y'all.

Mayhaps I should just restart ANOTHER Ventrilo thread and do that In its first post?



(Geesh I've been around here a long time!  :embarrassing: )

Ok, all of the sudden, yesterday, I have absolutely no idea what happened, but my headset now picks up all outbound as inbound
i.e. people can hear my itunes, and themselves talking and all of that.

thanks in advance,
Bru

First things to check are your basic settings in Windows.  (I.e. Leave Ventrilo out of it for now, until you're sure it's working right in Windows.)

So:

One or both of the following two settings that need to be corrected:

- In Volume Control -> Playback: "Microphone" is enabled.  Mute it.

- In Volume Control -> Recording: Assure that only "Microphone" is selected, not e.g. "Stereo Mix" (actual wording varies between diff sound cards.)


If these steps don't fix it, then it's on to the Device settings in Ventrilo....
(We'll do there if we need to, because it really can't be done via the forums.  It needs to be done on ventrilo....)

Just started on vent Monday. Other players are saying my broadcasts are quiet. A few have said after a second or so there is static and can't understand what I am saying. Others on vent at the same time say they don't hear the static, but verify it is quiet.

I have vent inbound and outbound set at +10.

No problem for me hearing other players. I use headphones so there shouldn't be a feedback problem.

Any suggestions? The microphone I have is not a very expensive one. Would an upgrade on the mic be first step?

Thanks,
DeadMeat

You probably have a condenser mic, which needs "microphone boost."

Read down a bit in this post.

I was just wondering can someone (like me) that does not want to be recruited still get vent access? I know there is limited space on vent but figured it could not hurt to ask. I am around the servers a little again and figured why not stop in and say hi.

That's a question for the BFM Officers, but I'm pretty sure no (more) guests can get BFM vent access....

Just wanted to make a post regarding the Overlay in Ventrilo. I'm currently using 3.0.8 x64 with Windows 7 64-bit. I was having issues with it and wanted to make sure that it was enabled so I could learn some of the "newer" members voices. Anyway, after searching on the internet the solution seems to be to ensure that your game resolution is the same as your desktop. Whether this means that you need to increase your in-game resolution or decrease your desktop resolution is your decision. Other than that... it worked just fine for me. = )

If you're wondering how to set a custom resolution in Halo, you can add -vidmode x1,x2,x3 to the properties tab, where x1 is your width, x2 = height, and x3 = refresh rate. I'm not sure if this will allow you to go to a higher resolution than is normally supported via the Halo settings.
Being a good racer in Halo isn't just about getting the best times. You have to know where your teammates and enemies are, and most of all... how to be crafty! XD -nods-

Oh... and "v.v" = sad face.






Props to Plixity for the first sig, Slayton for the Season XIII trophy sig, and Jane for the banner! Thx guys! ^.^
