Speaking in-game issue
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Hello,

Recently I've noticed when I try to talk in game, my computer and headphones mess up. Let me explain;

Me and my friends talk in Skype and often play ArmA 2 & 3, and also the new DayZ. When I try to talk in game, it will work for about 5 seconds. This is where it all goes down hill; first of all, my friends stop being able to hear me in Skype, and no-one can hear me in game. I then try to unplug my headphones to fix it, and try various other things. Then, my internet cuts. I can't do much at this point. I then try to turn off my computer, which it wont do automatically, I have to hold the powers switch, then when I reboot my PC, all is fine and working again, until I try to talk in-game, then it all happens again.

This only seems to happen in the ArmA games. I have no idea what's causing this issue, or whether it's known, but I really need help as I like talking to people in-game. I can't find an issue similar on the BI forums, so I need your help, and if possible, fast!

Additional info;
Headphones: Tactic 3d Sound Blasters (is set to default)
OS: Windows 7
Drivers: Up to date
Issues: Only in ArmA games
Security: MBAM, Avast! & Spybot S&D (No related issues found (i.e. nothing that would appear to cause this issue))
Bandwidth: Good (35mb/s download speed, 8mb/s upload speed)

I can provide any other additional information if necessary.

Steps To Reproduce

I think i'm the only one with this issue, but this is how it goes:

  1. Call friend on skype
  2. Join game in Arma

3)Speak in game to people around

Then:

  1. Mic both in game and on skype stops working (any attempt to fix i.e. unplugging mic doesn't help)

2)I close down Arma, at which point my internet fries

  1. turn off computer (takes ages)

4)turn computer on - all works fine and dandy

Additional Information

The weird thing is, this only happens when I intend to speak in game..? If I accidentally hold caps lock and talk nothing happens.

I should also note that I do not believe the issues about my internet cutting off, or my pc taking ages to turn off is something to do with the mic issue, but i'm not certain, that's why I included it

I am not sure if this happens when just speaking in game (not in skype too)

I also contact BI with a support ticket, but haven't received anything back from them.
