Note that sometimes when you run the voice tweak utility in Half Life based games Windows will default to mute on the mic. Don't ask me why. Check your sound properties in Windows. Make sure the mic is not muted then try it in game again without running voice tweak. Do be sure voice is enabled in the game menu and mic is activated. Find this option under multiplayer/customize.
If this doesn't work be sure your sound supports "full duplex". Most sound cards will but cheapy on board sound may not support both outgoing & incoming data at the same time.

Did you try my rates I said in an earlier post?

Ahh! same with me
My mic works everywhere else, but when I join a game on counter-strike it unselects the Mic under Recording Control...
Pretty lame eh? I'm assumign there's a discrepency between the volume/mic ...It worked on this computer before though
I'm gonna try to update drivers or edit properties for 'em
i'll let you know

WEEE I got it to WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Audio driver is: EES Allegro PCI Audio
...
Hell yea i'm so happy, well this is what i did:


Control Panel -> System Properties -> Hardware(tab) -> Device Manager (button)

From there i scrolled down to Sound, video and game controllers
open the driver your mic uses (it'll say it under Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Device)

I updated the driver when i first installed winxp (2months ago) ...So i tried to "Roll Back Driver"...
Which was successful
If that doesn't work i'd recommend looking at the properties ...blablabla
goodluck guys

When i go into half life options and then the voice menu it does not pick up the mic when i click test mic. But in volume controller for windows xp I test it and it picks it up fine. Please help as I love to chat while I play

Hi, I have another question I would like to ask about CSS:

How do I voice chat with my team only? And how do I send a public message? Thanks.

So I got a question, I have counter-strike and when I press the key that I binded to the Microphone.....which is "K" the Microphone symbol doesnt even show up. This happened after I started using the program for counter-strike called HLSS ( Half Life Sound Selector) which you can play .wav files through your comp into the mic. To use HLSS in game, you have to press delete to in order to use the .wav file. so my question is how do i get back the symbol in the game? I cant use the mic because I press the "K" button in order to get the mic symbol to come up on the botton right of the screen to talk into the mic. Everyone in the game says they cant hear me. I've tried even reinstalling the game and it still doesnt work. any ideas?
