Darth Groovy Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Boy this program is a steaming pile of poo! I was trying to play Call Of Duty today with [echo] clan and it took us forever to get it to work, and then when it did, we only had partial coms, and really bad reverb. Anybody else use this program? If so does it work for you? If it works, then what are we doing wrong? Also, is there a "better" program for voicechat/gaming out there better than "teamsuck"? In case you wondering what the Hell Groovy is ranting about, check it out HERE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Teamspeak kicks ass, I've got absolutely no probs using it, in fact I was about to psot a thread on how more clans should use it. Of course i don't host it or have anything to do with the server (so i don't know what you're doing wrong), but it's definately great with really good sound quality and no added lag when playing ja with my clan.

snowman21 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I used to have teamspeak but I didn't know how the heck to use it (back in the days where I didn't know much about pc's.) and I haven't used it since. Maybe if I join a clan that uses it then I'll download it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapNColostomy Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 We (>uB<) just recently switched to Team Speak from Roger Wilco. Haven't had anything but luck with it so far, although it doesn't seem to pick up my mic as well as RW did. Which considering some of the language I use in any given game, could be a good thing.

I just looked this up and you need quite a lot of bandwidth, also, you can totally customize your codec settings, i've found trhat some make the sounds slightly muffled (cs caveman style) and some sound very good. Do a bit of experimenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agen Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 The amount of users, a TeamSpeak server can handle, mostly depends on the server's internet connection, as the cpu-usage is very low. The voice quality and hereby the bandwidth usage is configurable and can be low for modem users or as good as normal phone calls for better connections. Still the client's maximum bandwidth won't exceed 25.9 KBit/s (=3.3 KB/s) upstream. Configure Configure Configure! IMO it is much better than my experience with Roger Wilco back in CS. I think you lot need to play on decent servers and press the settings button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So was that post From what I'm hearing, Teamspeak has worked for most. I've talked about it a lot on #PCGamer on MIrc and heard nothing but good things.

Well I am using this one: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?page=products/details&CRID=103&CONTENTID=6774&countryid=19&languageid=1 My teamates say they can hear me fine, but we did run into another problem with this horrible buzzing feedback type sound, not sure what it was, or wear it was coming from.

swphreak Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I'm using the same headset/mic groovy has, and I was producing some echo when I spoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I haven't tried any other programs but *we* use teamspeak and it works perfectly. Only the hoster of the server said something a while ago it took some bandwidth but TS works fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 put your mic level up but mute it Otherwise you get an echo or a screech (this probably isn't your problem, it's too simple but it could be ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
