Is there any way to get voice chat through my headset

draktok

and regular game sounds through my speakers? This seems like a pretty basic functionality to me that would only improve QoL for the players... and if it's in the game, how in the blazes do I change it? The game isn't written on source so it's not a total shitty engine, at least (and anyone who loves source - try alt tabbing the silly thing, sheesh)

Not possible getting just the voice isolated in your headset, unless you're using teamspeak outside of the game on a separate soundcard output AFAIK. You could just use a y-splitter stereo plug thing and use your main speakers and headphones together? Just turn the game volume down and voice volume up, and crank up your stereo speakers to compensate? Seems kind of silly to have both hearing the same thing, unless you got a rocking sound system.

I have an okay stereo set up - but I want to hear voice through headphones so i can still hear skulks skulking

I accidentally had this problem with another game, ended up messing with some windows sound settings and fixed it.

I know what you want to do (send other people's voice through your headphones, send all other game sounds through speakers). I don't think NS2 can do it. Be awesome if the devs coded it in so we can do this though.

I don't see the point honestly. Headphones block out other sounds fairly well, so it would be hard to hear some of those skulk sounds if they only played from outside.

I would personally just reduce the volume of other sounds so that I could better hear voices over them (and disable music completely), still playing all through my headset.

I've done this but it is still hard, and sometimes certain mics are just loud, plus if they are too loud i can just press the button on my headset and still hear skulks skulking through my speakers, but it's irritating to attempt through normal game and have to change settings based on players each time
