Edward Kennedy Posted June 11, 2017 at 09:04 PM Posted June 11, 2017 at 09:04 PM Brand new computer running FSX and VPilot. I can hear ATC perfectly but they can barely hear me. I am running W7 64 bit, have downloaded all new software, tried different mikes and still they cannot hear me. The odd thing, my VA on team speak can hear me clearly. I have tired the com ports on both front and back of the machine and its the same. Its a Dell Optiplex. I ran the sound calibration several different ways and the sound response I get is very muted. Can anyone suggest anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Hopkinson Posted June 11, 2017 at 11:17 PM Posted June 11, 2017 at 11:17 PM Here's one way to turn your volume up in windows. (The name of your sound card/headset may differ) If you are at 100%, then getting your microphone closer to your mouth may be the only option left. I find my windows 7 wants to default this to 50% after every reboot of the PC, so I'm making this adjustment nearly every time I log onto vatsim!

Edward Kennedy Posted June 12, 2017 at 04:49 PM Author Posted June 12, 2017 at 04:49 PM What about the "boost" option, what will that do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten Jelle Posted June 12, 2017 at 05:10 PM Posted June 12, 2017 at 05:10 PM If you can avoid using the boost function, do it - it reduces the quality a lot and risking it is more unreadable than it is when the volume is low.

Magnus Meese Posted June 12, 2017 at 10:01 PM Posted June 12, 2017 at 10:01 PM Depends heavily on headsets. Most headsets I have had that offered the option benefitted from it. These were light on-ear call center type headsets, not big chunky isolating gamer sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
