Conrad collinson Posted November 15, 2016 at 08:03 PM Posted November 15, 2016 at 08:03 PM Hi guys, I am trying to talk to ATC but they're telling me my readability is 1 due to serious background noise. vPilot says BackgroundNoiseTooLoud when i calibrate the mic however my room is virtually silent! anyone have any ideas?

Josh Glottmann Posted November 15, 2016 at 09:18 PM Posted November 15, 2016 at 09:18 PM To cover all grounds, make sure your mic isn't muted (with a physical mute toggle). My headphones sometimes got half-muted if I bumped the switch on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or your mic is on the fritz and ready to be replaced. Mr. VATSIM P2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted November 16, 2016 at 05:11 AM Posted November 16, 2016 at 05:11 AM the VATSIM voice codec really does not like much of any background noise. #1 killer for transmissions for pilots is also having your speakers loud in the background with your sim sounds, it doesnt like the noise. first before going out and spending money, simply mute your sim sounds and do a test, see if they hear you better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
