Number one team LSU was defeated in overtime by the Arkansas Razorbacks. 50-48 Both the Boot and the LSU BCS dreams have been shut down. It was a good game and both teams played hard. But in the end all I can say is....

Woo Pig Souie

I love mass BS, woops I forgot the C, chaos. Maybe we can get closer to a playoff.

For some reason, when I play either L4D1 or L4D2 lately, as soon as the game launches, it un-checks the mute box on my Windows Sound panel on me. If I don't pull up the Play Control panel and re-mute it, the next time I turn my speakers up, it will howl and feed back.

I checked my audio settings and I have it set to Push To Talk.

Anybody got any idea why that might be happening?

I've just spent about 10 minutes wondering why I couldn't find the solution to this when I was sure I've posted it... only to eventually realise it was an issue I answered on my clan website... anyway here's a link:

L4d 1 & 2 Updates have broken my mic - Sneaky Monkeys Forum

Well, I had thought of that after I posted, so I tried setting that parameter to zero instead of 1, but it didn't help. I have my sound panel on my right hand monitor, and about 5 seconds before the game finishes loading, I can watch the mute check box change. All other sound settings appear to be OK.

It's a SB Audigy 2...btw...

**imported_Iggy** · 02-17-10, 06:46 PM

And I just tested it again, and I misspoke...L4D1 does NOT do it, L4D2 DOES.

Well, after wading through page after page in the Steam forums, I found what I think is the answer:

voice_mixer_mute 1

using that as a launch option stopped the game from unmuting the mic.

Most of the threads dealt with the reverse of my problem, so I had to google myself to death till I finally stumbled across it.

Im sorry, but i need to ask.

Why do you want your mic to be muted?

i could see it being a problem the other way around but couldn't you just turn your volume down, or take off your mic?

**MonkeyFiend** · 02-18-10, 10:01 AM

yep,

"\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead 2\left4dead2\config.cfg"

And change the values on these two from zeros to ones.
voice_mixer_mute "1" (To keep the mic muted)
voice_mixer_boost "1" (For the re-enabling of mic boost)

@Silvercyrus: I assume he want his mic muted if he's using desktop speakers to save feeding back
