No Mic

[Logan]

Some people might say it's a good thing, screw-em. I'm looking for help because my mic works fine on COD2 but not at all on COD4-5. Ive tried changing my settings on game,windows,sound settings and nothing works. The weird part is that when I test it in settings, it works, but not in game.It is a USB mic activated by the "Z" key on my Steel Series keyboard, Realtek High Def sound, nvidea GTS450 graphics card.  HHHHHEEEELLLLLPPPP  pppplease

What do you mean by "test in settings?"  Windows or in the game?

 

For COD5 WAW (and I think it's probably about the same in COD4,) go into Options & Controls / Multiplayer Options / Voice Chat -> Voice Chat: ON

 

Then talk and verify that the bargraph below the ON/OFF setting is responding to your voice.  If not, what version of Windows are we talking about here?

Logan, if you could get it working on COD 4-5 and no longer working on COD2, I would consider that fixed.

Thanx for replying djMot. That is one of the settings I'm talking about. If I set that and test the mic. I get a good bargraph report, but in game I have no voice. I have widows 7 ultimate.

Make soure your z key is set as it may have changed some how.

Note have all your stuff hooked up  mic, headset ETC

 

realtek current is R2.71 re download as to your OS  32bit or 64bit

 

set-up.exe  RIGHT click it, then RUN as ADMIN  

 

let it install (it removes old drivers) then reboots an let it finish loading new drivers, reboot

 

now try your game

 

if  not working  then

 

back up your game updates, profiles and maps

 

reinstall game but (your in windows explorer)

 

game set-up.exe  RIGHT click it, then RUN as ADMIN  

 

and every game update do same

This actually makes the most sense to me.  Somehow, driver stuff seems unlikely, but I wouldn't totally rule that out either.  Crunch has good procedures for that, and installing the game again, but that's a LAST resort.

 

Here's another suggestion -- Find your game icon and right-click it and "Run as Administrator."  Accept any UAC prompts, then go in and check configuration of the mic.  Then (IMPORTANT) play the game while elevated as Administrator.  See if it's working.  Report back to us.  Rationale of this maneuver is that, sometimes a program is trying to write settings to a config file, move something, or whatever, and cannot because of insufficient privileges.  If the program just thinks to itself, "oh well, whatever..." and doesn't bother to tell you it had a problem, you won't know what's wrong.  Running elevated as Administrator can get you through that problem.  Also, once run as Administrator and the situation is resolved, running as Administrator thereafter is typically unnecessary.  Make sense?

Thanx, I'll try the above suggestions and let you know

Make sure you try my suggestion first. I feel that's the best one for your problem.
