If it's that much of a problem for you, there is a post on reddit of a work around.
It details how to disable hearing other people and disabling your own mic.
I don't use reddit, but I will look at it if possible. It is a big deal. Do you have a link?
Edited: I found the link. Does not help me since setting a device to default is not an option.
I'm not so comfortable posting links to 3rd party sites, but heres what it says:
To disable other peoples' chatter:
- Right click speaker icon in system tray.
- Select Playback Devices.
- Select a Playback Device other than what you use for sound output.
- Right click it and select Set as Default Communications Device.
- Hit OK.
- Left click on the speaker icon in the system tray.
- Click the icon below the slider on the device you chose to mute it.
To disable your own mic within the game but use a 3rd party voice application:
- Right click speaker icon in system tray.
- Select Recording Devices.
- Select a Recording Device other than your mic (maybe Stereo Mix?).
- Right click it and select Set as Default Communications Device.
- Right click it and select Properties.
- Select the Levels Tab at the top.
- Click the icon next to the slider to mute it.
- Click OK.
- Go into the settings of your 3rd party app and set the input device to your mic.
I really need the next new features in the next update:
1) Push to Talk
2) Adjust Voice Audio volumn
I found that message about adjusting the playback, but the features it asks me to edit aren't available. I can't set anything as a default
This is not a solution... this is just dumb. I want to be able to talk to my friends on skype, while I play this game, while they play a different game! This really does need to be addressed.
