*cough* you know that it's push to talk? hold down the left button the dpad and that should solve it. it's not open mic.

Lol. Yes sir. We sure do. We have it disabled on our other PS3 that I play DUST on. But thank you though.

Here's what I'd do, take the time and give us ALL the information and or e-mail it to DUST.

Sounds like it's a networking the VoiP issue you're dealing with and if you're new to networking, it would be better to have them walk you through it.

Are you running BOTH PS3's at the same time? Both wired? 1 wired 1 wireless? etc...

Those are things we need to know in order to direct you properly.


But it almost sounds like you need to open some ports and put your PS3's in the DMZ.

the headset with the dongle, lol not dingle berry. is not bluetooth, it is regular 2.4Ghz frequency. also what cordless phones, wireless routers, microwaves all seem to run on.

i have issues with my sony stereo headset, that uses the dongle. i use my bluetooth and do not have issues. all of my ps3 are wired and have not had issues with multiple wireless (bluetooth) headsets being used.

i dont really play dust wireless but i have before and only my Sony Stereo (with dongle) has issues, even when wired.

if you are having issues with your stereo headset you can see this: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=27747

edit: btw my headset issues are with Dust only as well. my sony bluetooth mic works fine but not my sony stereo headset

Okay I'm ever more curious now....

I know we may not solve this (then again we may) but I'm still thinking it's a wireless port issue for VoiP. Yes...VoiP is a pain in the kitten because of pipe that is needed to run it, and I have limited VoiP networking experience...BUT...hell this is how you learn :)

So if y'all do have the time, what model router / headset / etc...are you using?
Go to speedtest.net and test your speed 5 x's and pull an avg and post them as well?


Specific details on the equipment would be greatly appreciated.

I know other games work fine, but also realize all games have their own dedicated porting. Which is why you're always seeing some players with issues and some without.

(if that's too much to ask I'll bugger off, but I'm really interested now)

I run a wired 7.1 Triton. Never wanted to mess with the wireless because of the issues and never run my consoles on wireless because of the issues. Which as me wanting to do some self teaching.

Okay, I have a Belkin N+ wireless router model # F5D8235-4V1

My speed test results are 24.87 Download and 3.62 Upload. This was done on my wireless computer.
My bluetooth head set is a Logitech Cordless Vantage headset for the PS3. The other one is the Sony 7.1 wireless headset for the PS3. You know, the one with the dingle berry (dongle), Lol.

You know, one other thing I didn't mention is when my wife gets on DUST and joins our squad, she kills comms for the whole squad not just for her and I.

Well that's all the info I know what to get. Let me know if you have any ideas. I love problems like this but I do enough of it at work and when I get home I just want to game. LOL. Not really, I mean I do but I barely have anytime to game as it is. Lol.

Thanks

You know, one other thing I didn't mention is when my wife gets on DUST and joins our squad, she kills comms for the whole squad not just for her and I.

this is messed up lol idk man, very weird. as the other poster is saying, i would recommend placing one PS3 in the DMZ and then opening ports for the other ps3
you can find Dust ports here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=27899&find=unread
and PS3 ports here: http://playstation.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2333/kw/ports
you may only need the Voice ports, GL
edit: if you can get another router see if that changes anything as another poster did mention belkin having voip issues. if anything, buy one, try it and then return it?

Quick question,

Could my UPnP being disabled have anything to do with this issue...

Reason why I ask is because I have hooked up my wife's ps3 hard wired to the router and I am still having the same issue. It's really wierd. Now, she can be on and in a squad. When I connect to the DUST servers with or without a mic, she loses comms. I quit DUST and she gets comms back. I have no idea whats going on.

Quick question,

Could my UPnP being disabled have anything to do with this issue....

You know what...was talking to a guy the other day who had mic issues...and here's what he did...


Look for any other devices you may have installed on the PS3. He had an old bluetooth device installed on his pc and when he uninstalled it he no longer had mic issues.

So there could be a driver conflict on the PS3 with devices. I'd check that out and uninstall IF you have anything left over.


You know as well as I do there are things we cannot explain, so why this worked for him and it may not for others...not sure. But it's worth a shot.

turn it on and let us know. my UPnP is on btw

It's on and all it really did was help my wife actually join a squad and play together. With no mic's though. It's funny, it showed hers working fine and mine working fine (going green and then back to grey and green and etc...) but we could not hear each other and we couldn't see if anybody else could hear us or we could hear them cause none of our friends were online at that time.

I'm thinking on conacting DUST directly.
