After recently suffering a HDD failure I decided to spend a “bit” and upgraded to have the full Win 7 experience.
I now have an 1155 Sandybridge motherboard with Realtek HD Audio Manager.
With my old XP rig I had a splitter cable at the rear for my speaker/headphone sounds, and the mic was just plugged into the regular mic jack.
This system worked beautifully for the last few years, all I had to do was make sure
“Stereo Mix” was ticked as
“off” and my in game sounds would be
nice and clear, and my mic would be very
legible in Voip.I have tried the same configuration with my new set up and now the in game sound is
very weak and my voip
isn’t very clear (CB radio type of sound), according to player feedback.
I have played around with settings in the last few days.
I had the speakers in the
rear jacks, and headphones/mic in the
front jacks. This seemed to work fine, in-game sounds were
really sharp and loud
(which proves that the Realtek really can output some nice sound quality) and I could switch between speakers and headphones for music listening etc.
However my mic in Voip would suffer from
“in game sound feedback”. And the mic would not work at all if I had
“Stereo Mix” switched to
off, which didn’t really make sense since this was the way to do it in Win XP.
Also the
“buzzing” sound I would get when I had the mic in the
“off position” was like having a mosquito in my eardrums!
(Only happened when mic was in the front jack)Anyway does anyone happen to have Windows 7 with Realtek HD Audio Manager set up for headphone/mic and Stereo speakers?
That works in BF2/FH2 ?I’ve tried most combinations so far, but I must be doing something wrong. All I know is the sound
“can be” clear and crisp. And the mic
“can” work
(works fine in Windows voice recorder).Any tips Windows 7 users?
