Mic works but I can't talk!

MrScottal · 10-23-2006, 01:49 AM

My initial problem was that I was hearing the "echo" sound that the poster in the sticky was talking about. Using the steps in there, I was able to fix that problem. However, now that that problem is fixed, I can't seem to be able to talk at all. I know for a fact my mic is working and I can hear other people without the play back occuring. I can not for the life of me figure out how to configure ventrilo or my sound manager to where I can talk though.

I used ventrilo quite frequently on my old computer, as soon as I downloaded it to my new one, this problem arose. Maybe my drivers need updating? If so, can someone please explain how to do that.

This is what my ventrillo set up looks like: [URL="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/MrScottal/untitled-1.jpg"]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/MrScottal/untitled-1.jpg[/URL]

And this is how my sound manager is set up:

Any one know how to fix this problem? I will be checking in on this thread quite a lot so if you need any additional information, expect it fast.

Thanks in advance,
Scott.

set the mixer to Line/Min
set the mux and line

in your sound control panel
mute the Line and select the mic
also under the Record section in your control planel, why does the speaker have a RED X over it!!

mute all but the Mic in Recording Input
you will increase your line volume in ventrilo. set the amplifiers to zero.

in your Realtek control panel, mute the mic volume in Playback.
what does the mic tab show?

i made the suggested changes and the mic still doesn't work. I have updated screen shots if needed.

can you test your mic in
Control Panel > Sound > Voice
Test Hardware button

MrScottal · 10-27-2006, 02:25 PM

Already did because I thought it might be my mic, but the Mic works perfectly fine.
Any other suggestions?

Control Panel > Sound > Voice tab

is Line-in/Mic the only option in the drop-down box in the recording section?

Yes
