[Firework]

I can't tell if my mic is working or not. in every other game i play it works but i'm not sure about this one. every time i talk to someone they just ignore me. i know the button to talk is V but it just doesn't seem to work. can anyone help me with this issue?

Mic turned on in settings in game?

Sadly, this is not a uncommon problem.
There are regularly newbies on our servers who have problem with that.

Maybe I can help you with that.

1.) Go to settings (autio settings) and push the "microphone amplification" up to the maximum (I think 500% is maximum).
2.) Make sure you have activated "push-to-talk" and binded a key to it (I think "v" is standard).
Voice activation is not advised, because often, the voice gets micro-interrupted a lot, when speaking (stutterin), so we do not advise that on our server.
3.) If this does not yet work, you should check that your correct audio-mic-device is used in the box above the "talk mode choosing option". I myself use a headset which I have to re-choose sometimes, when I start the game, because it gets pushed out, and replaced by the PC standard audio card, whenever I disconnet the headset from the computer (before I leave gaming, every evening). So, you should recheck your correct audio setting EVERYTIME you start the game, wanting to play multiplayer. Sometimes the amplification gets reset to 100% and often your "talk mode" gets disabled...

I hope this helped with your problem.
Have fun!
