Naturi Riclenore BetaMax. 120	Posted - 2012.07.14 14:41:00 - [1] - Quote Please go into your options and turn voice chat ON. I know it seems odd, but that is the only way you will hear those with mics. in-game go to System operations -> Options -> Audio -> Voice chat It helps when you know what the rest of the team is doing. We actually do talk strategy in VC; and it would benefit you to also hear it.. ESP. when the game makes me squad leader and NO ONE can hear what I'm saying. and stopping to type can be the death of me.
Grit Breather BetaMax. 660	Posted - 2012.07.14 14:47:00 - [2] - Quote I sometimes have the opposite problem. I've already been in quite a few matches where my entire squad had VC on but the commander didn't. Rather stupid... Also, having VC turned on sometimes allows you to hear the enemy due to the voice channel bug. It's very amusing hearing them say "This is hopeless! Hard push on A!" so I naturally go to A and wait...
Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. 2867	Posted - 2012.07.14 14:55:00 - [3] - Quote That would be neat a module you can get that lets you hack the enemies comms. Whallah Bug turned feature.

I like hearing the enemy sometimes. Makes me think I'm a communications spy
Icy Tiger 496	Posted - 2012.07.14 15:06:00 - [7] - Quote Its really funny hearing their groans and moans as you destroy them.
Berserker007 Imperfects Negative-Feedback 206	Posted - 2012.07.14 16:41:00 - [8] - Quote i was using my mic; but some reason the voice chat 4 me isnt working at all . Cant tell if its from ingame or ps3 side; hopefully will figure it out ;as using mics with others def helps quite a bit
Ventis Gant Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 37	Posted - 2012.07.14 17:16:00 - [9] - Quote That game where 90% of the people had mics and weren't talking...could have just been that they had voice chat on (thus giving them the little VC symbol), but didn't have mics.

Whallah Bug turned feature. voila - literal translation from French is "see there" the more you know... signed, Your resident Grammar Kitten EDIT: Turn on voice comms even if you don't have a mic. If nothing else you can follow along with the strategies being laid out by those that DO have mics and support them and your team, rather than running off and lone-wolfing it.

Genhawkk Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 19	Posted - 2012.07.14 22:25:00 - [12] - Quote I normally play with the dam comms off becuase half the idiots in they beta have the shittiest mics I have ever heard in gaming history. I don't want to hear people talking about what they are having for dinner, what came in the mail or just down right their in game sound. Need a quick way to mute people that is permanent and maybe I will use it mor often! Just seems like everytime I want to get in some good comms, some jack hole messes it with kids yelling / screaming (literally) or talking to their spouse about useless **! Just glad I never got into console gaming, no way I oculd take that on a daily basis without going ape ** on people
jus nukem 19	Posted - 2012.07.15 03:56:00 - [13] - Quote PS3 codec sucks!
Superluminal Replicant 40	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:09:00 - [14] - Quote This is the first game I might actualy get a mic for, but only If they add some sort of Press button to talk thing, or I wont bother. Ive got a really nice surround sound system and i can hear other players game sounds and weird noises down there mics constantly with comms on, ruins the game completely for me. If they sort this out I will be happy to get a mic.
Mock Five Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 10	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:36:00 - [15] - Quote Do I need to turn voice chat on if I do have a mic. I have had my mic on for 2-6 games and I have not heard one person and my mic was on correctly according to the audo device manager thing on PS3 settings.
Cillian Magu Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 34	Posted - 2012.07.15 04:38:00 - [16] - Quote DOOD GET UT OF MY DROPSHP I CAN'T FUCKIN BLIEVE THIS OMG JEZUS. Yeah voice chat isn't always the greatest.

I didn't know until I asked on the forum. I think it should be default on, if you don't want to listen to people there should be an easier way to turn it of in the comms menu or just an option to mute the player with the Baby crying or wife/mother yelling at them.
Archangel Exodus 8	Posted - 2012.07.15 08:08:00 - [19] - Quote Can I use my Bluetooth jawbone to voice chat on Dust? It seems to connect to the plays ratio I don't know why it wouldnt work for the game
Fuma Centuri Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 107	Posted - 2012.07.15 10:36:00 - [20] - Quote I tried turning it on. The game then turned it off automatically anyway. I never heard anybody. How do I plug in a microphone to a PS3? It doesn't have an audio jack :/

You can use BT for cell phones but I'd go with the Sony PS3 BT as it has a mute button. This way if you're not talking to anyone ingame they don't hear you. I wish others would learn to use their mute as I really don't care about your personal life but I did get a good recipe that uses pot in it .
Runny Stool Algintal Core Gallente Federation 52	Posted - 2012.07.15 15:04:00 - [26] - Quote Yeah, while I can't say anything negative about the POTENTIAL that voice comms has on PS3, in practice it's horrible. I've been tempted to buy a bluetooth headset, but then I remember: 1. Every 12 year-old in the world has a mic and uses it to practice swearing. 2. Every player with a mic has a spouse/significant other that insists on carrying on a conversation with a live mic in the room. 3. Screaming children/barking dogs/dying old people in the background distracts me from my game. 4. I don't want to hear you eat, drink, sigh, belch, fart, grunt, groan, breathe, **** or barf while I'm playing. 5. WHY ARE YOU HUMMING!? So while the strategic value of being on voice comms with my team is very high, I can't be bothered to put up with the crap people do with a mic in their face.

If you want to hear strategy during the mission then deal with the side effects of using a mic.
Geirskoegul Soul-Strike 134	Posted - 2012.07.15 17:19:00 - [30] - Quote Speaking from experience with the PS3 since its north american launch, the issues you describe aren't particularly widespread here. The fact that a headset isn't included, but that it supports any and all USB and bluetooth headsets, actively works in our favor: the vast majority that go out and bother to buy and/or set up voice comms on the PS3 are doing so because they want to actually communicate and work together. A large component of the issues you describe are only really issues on X-Box Live because everyone gets a headset with the system, so there's no deliberateness required to get on comms and start being an idiot. Most places (other than what I can only imagine Goon comms look / sound like >_<) aren't like the cesspool that is XBL.

I have to agree it was worse when I had a 360... but there's still plenty of yahoos out there that have an open mic and never actually use it, we just get to listen to the sounds of their living room because it's awesome. And nothing worse than joining a "CLEAN RACING ONLY-SERIOUS DRIVERS ONLY" lobby in GT5 only to have Mr. Clean and Serious eat couscous in my ear while I'm trying to run a race with him. Perhaps a mandatory "push to talk" function would be helpful, but we probably lack enough buttons.

PTT is mandatory on all voice servers I run, and with good reason (especially those assholes using desktop mics instead of proper headsets; I really don't feel like listening to EVERYONE"S echoes and feedback, thanks.)

Sergeant Wiznowski Seraphim Initiative.

Works for those late night sessions. I am playing after 22 GMT so only American kids are awake at this hour and they should not be on EU servers anyway.
Kalik Gordo BetaMax. 17	Posted - 2012.07.16 08:19:00 - [38] - Quote I am using voice chat. I have a Bluetooth gaming headset.. But currently the voices are coming through my TV speakers rather than my headset. Is there a way of switching this? Is it done through PS3 Settings or through Dust 514 Settings? I cannot seem to find the relevant options.

I cannot seem to find the relevant options. It's in the PS3 Settings. It's either under System Sound Settings, or under Sound under System Accessories. I can't recall. You set the mic level (to Off, or 1 - 5 volume level), then the input device. By default, your output device will then be whatever the input device you selected, but you can change the output device back to being what the default was. I expect you may have done that. If you want the in-game voice chat of other players coming through the headset, change the output device to being the same as input device on that screen. You will still get the game sounds through the TV speakers. On another one of those screens I mentioned, I believe is where you can select to also hear the game sounds through the headset rather than the TV speakers (*I think*). Hope this helps and I have those screen names right. Symlin

I'm in the EU and I've tried it on both EU and US servers. If you go into the PS3 Settings, you should be able to test your mic to verify it's working. Also be aware that if you have the PS Move / PS Eye / PS2 Eyetoy, the camera has a built-in microphone as well. By default, I do not believe you hear yourself. You have to turn it on (or maybe it's on by default and I have just turned it off). As far as hearing random things / baby crying / etc... I have not come across very many situations like this. I've had my PS3 for a few years now, and have had only a few run-ins like this. Yeah you run acaross them here and there, but nothing I found to be rampant. If people had a mic, they tended to be conscience of the fact. And because a mic is not bundled with the PS3, you have to actively want to communicate and buy one rather than it just automatically comming with the system / game

ARTERIOUS HYGRONEOUS 0	Posted - 2012.07.19 18:34:00 - [43] - Quote I'm married to a loud mouth Italian and my PS3 is in the living room next to the Kitchen (she's a great cook) if she talks to me while i'm in the game I listen and reply or pay the consequences (horse head in bed ) would be easier with push to talk but only a few interruptions here and there I can deal with. Stuck open mic or playing music is a totally different thing.
Kain Spero Imperfects Negative-Feedback 906	Posted - 2012.07.19 19:04:00 - [44] - Quote Yeah, I've actually stopped using my bluetooth mic because of the lack of a mute button. Switched over to a XBox mic with a USB adapter. When the dogs bark or the wife talks I try to hit the mute button as fast as possible.
Sephoran Griffith Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 96	Posted - 2012.07.19 19:08:00 - [45] - Quote I play in the living room where my wife is often reading or napping, therefore I do not have voice chat on for that reason. That combined with the typical screaming and cursing of others on most voice chat in most games = no voice chat for me. Not until I join or create a Corp at least.
Eskel Bondfree 27	Posted - 2012.07.22 17:22:00 - [46] - Quote I just want to add a rather important note for everybody playing the german version of Dust: the voice chat option under system/options/audio is actually labeled 'mute yourself' in the german version. If this is set to 'off', you actually do mute yourself, meaning voice chat is disabled and you can't hear nor speak on voice chat. You need to set 'mute yourself' to 'on' if you want to hear voice chat and be able to talk to others. Took me a while to realize this, so I hope this will help some folks in the future.
