Ever used a turtle beach headset or any gaming headset to game on PS3/Xbox? More likely than not, your headset had separate controls for chat and game volume. If you wanted to hear your friends loud, you would simply turn the volume switch up correct? This doesn't work for PC, or TF2 at least
So, I'm using a turtle beach x12 headset to game on Team fortress 2. I want to be able to hear my friends better, so obviously I need to adjust the voice volume right? I adjust it to the maximum, and still I have trouble hearing them.
The scroll on my headset for some reason adjusts EVERYTHING which includes voice and game sound effects. If i adjust that then everything including voice is bumped up. This doesn't help since even though voice volume is high the game sounds just cancel it out correct?
The obvious thing to do would be to turn game volume all the way down and then turn voice volume all the way up correct? Wrong. For some reason the separate game volume control also adjusts voice volume when you turn it all the way down. This is proven by the fact that when you turn game volume all the way down
Long story short:
- Chat volume slider on headset HAS NO EFFECT on PC. Neither chat volume or game volume goes up when you use this
- The game volume on the headset is like the master control, it controls everything including game sounds, voice sounds in game, and EVERY sound from your PC basically
- The IN GAME control for game volume says it's for game volume. Same with the IN GAME voice control. However, adjusting the IN GAME control for game volume will alter the voice volume as well. This is my problem. When I separately adjust the IN GAME volume control to max, voice chat isn't loud enough. I can still make it louder using either the game volume slider on my headset or the in game volume but both of these affect game volume as well
Anyone know the solution to this? I heard somewhere that voice_overdrive 5 or something was a command, but do you enter this in console command or start up properties?
This is something very strange, if you go into TF2 and try this with a headset you will notice.
