In game voice issue

[[SJ]Rivet]

Hi all, I've been away for a good while but got enticed back by Wolfpack which I purchased recently. Blown away by the attention to detail in this sim. Amazing work by such a small team! Since then I've been working through the excellent tutorials and learning all I can before trying multiplayer. I wouldn't like to ruin others game play by my own incompetence. Ooh so much to learn.:yeah:

My issue is that on trying to test my mic in the games audio options screen, I can't seem to get any response at all and the only clickable option is the PTT check box. I've tried open mic and PTT to no avail. My mic works both in steam and discord, but I just can't get it to work in Wolfpack's mic test in the audio screen. Maybe missing something silly.

Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work. :Kaleun_Salute:

[SJ]Rivet!:Kaleun_Salute:...you haven't been away so long; 4 completed training quizzes for Wolfpack counts too!:yeah::arrgh!:

Thanks Aktungbby, I think it was about 11 years or so before the training quizzes. Real life really gets in the way sometimes :o


Already having fun with Wolfpack and can hardly wait for the upcoming new patch! :yeah:.

I Recommend you verify that your windows have set your mic as default device:

(there is many ways to get to this window but this is quick for me to explain, see link for more options if you dont like the one I am using)

first go to the windows run

type
"control mmsys.cpl sounds"

then rightclick on your active mic (i recommend disabling all mic devices you are not intending to use) and select "set as default device" and "Set as default communication device"

lastely you should check steam got it set too use the default so go into your steam voice settings and make sure input is default and your input volume/gain is high.

I know you allready said it work on them both but. this is all I can offer. dont forget to restart the game between changes you do outside of the game to make sure they apply in game.

That worked! Thank you so much Flubbo. Seems it was just the windows setting that needed to be set to Default.


Now I just have to bite the bullet and join a crew that doesn't mind showing me the ropes of the uboat systems. So far I think I can manage helmsman & TDC fairly competently.


Timezone wise, I'm in the UK :Kaleun_Salute:

try this discord Duyfken Pact (https://discord.gg/ZkyGhZWyM3), they run events for EU timezones around 3 times a week. no experience is required.

It didn't work for me. Do you know any other possible solutions? I had this problem very long time, but recently I noticed that it started to work on regular version. On beta version my mic still doesn't work.

Take a screen-shot of your sound settings in the non-beta game, and make sure they are in all respects the same in the beta-beta version? When you say your "mic doesn't work" in the beta, do you mean "I can't be heard" or "I can't be heard very well?"
