I cannot seem to get my mic set up ok in the HL mic setup.

During the TEST stage i can speak and hear myself great, but when I try to set the actual volume (ie the bit where the volume is on the left and you get to use +20db boost) the sound is VERY bad whatever setting!

i read once that the Via chipset doent like the sound setup.

Any ideas?

I can't get the HL setup thing to work properly either.

However setting <b>voice_loopback 1</b> in the console does let you hear how you should sound ingame to others.

Try for further details.
