Voice Com Problem.

<div class="IPBDescription">Can't hear people anymore...</div> Here's a strange problem that I can't figure out how to fix. I've been playing NS for about a week now and up till now I have been able to use voice chat and hear people. But for the last few days it loads up saying a dll is in use and when ever anyone talks in game all I get is beeping noises. The weird thing is that it only does this in NS, I can hear fine in all other mods. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Edit: Here is the error I get,
Unable to initalize DirectSoundCapture. Trying waveIn.MMSYSTEM004 The Specified device is already in use.
Unable to initalize wave input.

Not sure is this has anything to do with the sound but I also get this:
Tracker Error: TrackerUI.dll invalid

I have nothing running but NS so I don't know how the sound could be in use.

    What kind of sound is it making... is it just like a click when they start to talk or is it like beeping the hole time. I too have been having voice comm problems that I can't fix... <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=18&t=14331' target='_blank'>My Problems Here....</a>

    did you installed or run any programs releated to sound?
    Sometimes they pick up the sound and than it don't work in half-life.

    It's like a click, and no I didn't install anything. The other mods I have all work fine. That's the weird part...

    *Kicks it to the top of the page*

    Any one... this is really a problem especially when I have to try and explain to every one in every game I join so they won't talk to me on voice comm because I can't here them and then they just forget in about 5 minuets any way so I have to tell them that I can't hear any one all over again.

    P.S. Sorry for bumping but I really want to get this fixed and if you need more information look at my previous post for a link to my thread on this same problem or just ask.

    Hey

    What kinda soundcard do you have?

    If you don't have a very old 1 make sure your card is running full duplex

    It gives that kinda error if it's in use already, a half duplex card can do only 1 thing at the time a full duplex card can do multiple things at the same time.

    I am going to say that my sound card is just fine... like I put before I can hear in all other mods I just can't hear in NS. But if it really is my sound card I am running a cheap card called a vortex. I don't remember who makes it off the top of my head... I have also tried my on board sound wich I have a nForce mobo and the on board sound dose not work either.

    Exact same thing used to happen to me. I've got a Diamond Monster mx300.

    I did all kinds of things and here's how I solved it:

    I put my binds, and binds only, into config.cfg. I put all my aliases and numerical settings into autoexec.cfg. I then right clicked both and made then "read-only".

    My theory is that somewhere along the line NS writes some improper settings into your config.cfg file. Making it read-only keeps NS from messing with it.

    Again, that worked for me. I have no idea exactly which setting it was, or why it got messed up in the first place.
