Thread: What up

Its Jindra from Teamplayers, whats really good? Just got my ban overturned so I'm back to playing. Glad to be back too, regular pubs just don't cut it, I can't stand non-cooperativeness. But yeah, CanadianPersian is my buddy from Canada we went to school a while back...Right now I'm doing a robotics course in college so I can pay the bills later. I gotta get up on the hardware forums and post up my sexy gaming machine.

glad to see you got it overturned. do you play tf2 or cod4 or just css?

Hey jind. Yeah what games are you in, cause I know I've seen a Jindra on CoD4.

Also what was your ban for, can you link the thread?

Nah I don't play COD4 online. I played a bunch of battlefield 2. Currently it's not installed on my machine tho. Then I own at Worms Armageddon online, and Live For Speed. Anything out of that you play?

Nah I don't play any of those games. I'm more of a multiplayer pc gamer.

Do you play on the BF2 PR server ever. Cause i'm just getting into that a little bit.

wat it do jindra?
lol hey i heard u biult canadians rig
how much u need to build a decent one?

You can get a decent one together for like 1000 bucks, even wtih quad core...Just not 45nm that setup is $$$ still

I'm on a new HP dv7-6163cl, which is a laptop with moderately high end (Beatsaudio) audio and Win 7 64-bit. All Windows updates and release (not beta) driver updates have been installed.

After attempting to set up voice in Left 4 Dead 2, I found that plugging in the analog headset would no longer trigger the internal audio to shut off. None of the settings seemed to fix it, though I did find settings that would play through both headset ad internal at the same time. (This kills voice due to feedback, and wrecks a lot of other uses for the computer.)

NOTE: This appeared to be a hardware error, as partially plugging in the headphones would trigger the audio to switch to them. Where fully plugging them in would cause the failure. However, there are two ports that both behaved in exactly the same way, and as indicated below software changes temporarily can work around the issue. So it is definitely a software issue.

I assumed this was my fault ad ended up uninstalling and re-installing the audio driver. This fixed everything. Before running LFD 2 again, I made sure the audio was all solid... Mic worked. Headphones work, etc.

I then went into LFD 2, hoping that I could just click "Test Mic" in the game (via the shift-tab method to access settings once a game lobby has been created) and all would work. It appeared that all was well, as the mic test passed and sounded good.

However, when I dismissed the settings box and returned to the lobby, the music was now coming out of the internal speakers again, even though the headphone was plugged in. Testing the mic in LFD 2 actualy caused the problem.

I am unable to find any fix fr this other than reinstalling the audio driver again and not playing LFD 2... Not playing is a pretty sad option.

Anyone have any ideas? Seems like a Steam bug that should be a pretty high priority as it corrupts sound for the whole system, and not everyone knows how to track down such an issue and figure out what is going on.

first of all i think it isn't a steam bug i think your headset is a bit old that could cause the error
try veryfying the game cache by going to steam>my games>left 4 dead 2>properties>local files>verify integrity of game cache
