So yeah. Another guy with a mic problem on steam

[Glaesman]

Hi. I'm using an analog Mic for my PC with Windows XP. It works with everything except for steam and the games. When i do the "Test Microphone" in steam, It gives me a wierd distored and looped sound that goes higher and higher in pitch.

It's plugged in at the back of my PC and in the right jack (the pink one)

So, any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks in advice

Turn mic boost off, and you'll hear it fine. Also, try turning sensitivity down in steam "voice output volume".

[Glaesman]

Nope nothing. But it sounds like it loops the background music in TF2. I'm going to bed now, so I'll be checking tommorow

Are you sure that Steam isn't set to get sound off of Stereo Mixer?

[QUOTE=darkzero226;16611351]Are you sure that Steam isn't set to get sound off of Stereo Mixer?[/QUOTE]

Yes, It's set to Line in/Mic in

[Jman234]

Set it to just Mic.

Use realtek HD input.

Now there is no sound from mic. Atleast it isn't giving me some crappy distortion.

Your computer maybe uses wrong sound input, the mic input isn't selected.

[Deadsnipe]

Right click on your sound icon, in the taskbar and click "Öppna volymkontrollen", After that click "Alternativ" and choose "Egenskaper". In "mixer enhet" pick "Realtek digital HD input" Make sure "mikr-volym" is ticked and "stereo mix" is not.

I did it in swedish for him, since he's swedish.

[Glaesman]

Well this is what i got. In order.

turn off stereo mix in line in / mic in

and does your mic work with anything else?

[Glaesman]

My mic works for everything except Steam and the games.

OK, I got Line in/Line mic in steam settings, same in windows, and I don't know what to do.
