Don't drink to excess– You might shoot at tax-collectors... and miss

I just got my headset, (AddioFX by eDimensional). I want to get it set up for the Maw gathering.

I assume that I turn on Teamspeex first and then start Halo, correct?

I notice that in the Teamspeex window it seems like you can choose between the The whole MAW or just BLUE or RED. If I start Teamspeex before I start Halo, how do I know which team to choose?

As far as I know, I can't change settings in other programs while Halo is running in full screen mode. As I recall, when I tried playing it in a window, I couldn't click outside the Halo window, so it seemed useless. Any Macusers know how to get this working?

The headset has a mic plug, a speaker plug and a USB connection. My computer has a headphone jack on the front, but no mic jack. I also have a USB port on the front of the computer. If I plug in the headset and the USB, I can hear the sound, but there is a lot of static. If I plug in just the headset, I get good sound. I'll have to get under the desk and plug in the mic.

USB alone does not seem to do anything. It would be nice to get it working via USB– just plug it in the front and be done.

Here are the Sound In and Sound Out preferences. Line Out and Digital Out seem to work about the same. The Soundflower settings don't work. Any advice on setting these up?

I use teamspeex on a mac but I have a built in mic and it works fine.
Also if you wana switch out of full screen programs try pressing command (apple) tab, command or f11. Any of those should work fine. Also if you wana play half screen, apple-tab to the finder then you should be able to click outside of the window.

Yep, just open up Teamspeex, enter the address, then open up Halo.

I think it will auto assign you to a team once you spawn, but i'm not sure. It will be a pain if it doesn't.

What is Soundflower? I'm not familiar with that term.

I have no idea what soundflower is, it just shows up as a choice in the sound setup box.
