This guide should get your microphone setup properly to use in Halo2Vista.
First you need to make sure your mic is plugged in to the proper port. If you have a sound card there should be ports on the back, the one with a microphone picture next to it is the one you want. Some of you have motherboards with built in sound those ports will be on the back of the computer with the others. Again it should have a mic pic near it. Some of you many have both a card and on board sound. In that case you may need to go into the BIOS and disable the on-board sound if it interferes with your card. And lastly some of you will have ports on the front of your computer case, your monitor, or your keyboard. The case ports usually have a connector that needs to be plugged into the card or motherboard in order to work. The others will usually show up as a different sound device.
Once you have the mic plugged into the right port we need to go into Vista to see if it is working.
In Vista go to the Control Panel and click on Sound. In the Sound window you want to select the Recording tab. This tab will display all of the recording devices that Vista has detected. For instance, I have three devices listed. The first is a Headset Microphone, my Plantronics headset has a soundcard built -in to the cord so it shows up as a unique device. Next is the microphone port for the on-board sound. Last in the line in for the on board sound that is the line in port on the back or the mic port in the front of my case. There is also indicator bars to the right of the devices that are working. Blow in to your mic you should see one of the indicator bars light up green. This is the mic that is active. Right-click on it to bring up a menu and select Set as default to make sure Vista uses this mic port from now on.
Now its time to start Halo2Vista and set the mic up in there. When you start the game press “Home” to go into Windows Live. Click on Personal Settings and then click on Voice. Click Voice Recording Device. This should list the devices that Vista recognizes. Select the one that you set as a default in
Vista. Now Go to the Recording Volume and lower it. You have to find the right spot where you need to raise your voice to activate the recording. If it is to high you will have to scream, to low and we will hear every breath you take.
Your mic should be working in-game now. I haven't got to test it but I know that you have to be close to someone to hear them talk if you are on different teams. You can hear everyone on your team I think.
Well, I tried that, but it wonr work.Thanx anyway.
