Why is this not been addressed? this is the worst for me! i literally cant play dayz correctly and a week later the issue is still new??

Is your VOIP turned off? if so you will not be able to hear them.

no, my voip is all the way maxed out. Plus, i cant receive any written messages either!

i cant believe this issue hasn't even been recognized by a dev or moderator. Dayz is shit to play without being able to hear people. at least a suggestion or advice would be nice. Like "try changing this setting" or something like that. I wish someone, anyone would help

Verify game cache integrity through Steam's game properties manager and upload the .RPT log from %APPDATA%\..\Local\DayZ

Are you playing through a wireless connection? If you do, what is the average packet loss value?

0.44 is supposed to have "Server: New guaranteed messaging system for network traffic". Maybe the Client was forgotten by the developers?

Hello,

to make sure that everything is fine with your connection, would it be possible for you to attach a "tracert" report by performing a traceroute command while using the following ip address please: 69.162.83.204

In case you need information regarding how to perform the traceroute command, you can use the following url: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/162326 [^]

Thank you!

alright, done

Hi OAO7,

Can you please either upload a screenshot of the finished tracert or copy and paste it into a comment here?

Thanks!

Hi,

I believe this might be caused by the fact you don't have a microphone plugged in.

Could you try the following?

1. Open the Start menu and type Sound into the search bar
2. Open the program called Sound listed under the Control Panel heading
3. In the recording tab locate Stereo Mix
4. Right click on Stereo Mix and select Set as Default Device

If Set As Default Device is greyed out, click on Enable first.

If you can't see Stereo Mix in the list:

1. Right click anywhere in the list
2. Check the Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices options

If you *still* can't see Stereo Mix in the list, just post a comment saying so.

Please reply if any of this works / doesn't work.

@R834 i was following you up to step 3, but then i couldn't find "stereo mix" http://i.imgur.com/Uia6qUa.png
EDIT: i didn't see that second part of your post. give me a second to figure this out.
EDIT 2: okay, its set as default decive now. Should i now try playing Dayz or is there another step?

@Accolyte heres the screenshot! http://i.imgur.com/ygZUOA3.png sorry it wouldnt let me make it wider

Yep, if you've got it set up you can try playing DayZ.

When you've had a chance to test it, if you could get back to me with the results that'd be brilliant.

Hope it works :)

2 things:

1. yes, i can now hear people! yay!!! :D

2. game crashes fairly frequently now... not sure if it has anything to do with sound though

Good to hear it's working now :)

Could you confirm whether or not text chat also now works?

In regards to the crashes, can you open a new issue following the instructions in the How To Guide to add the required files?

Thanks!

actually its not that the game crashes a lot now, but its stuttering more than i used to. i will go from 70 fps to 0-10 then back up to 25. this is all while walking through electro (not running). keep in mind i took about a week and a half break, starting back up yesterday. Maybe an update caused this?

and yes, i can now see people text chat too, which i couldn't do before.

Hi,

seeing as the the issue that was the subject of this report has been solved, I will now closed the ticket.
