Teamspeak Help

Posted by Dave Pratt at January 26. 2010

I can't get Teamspeak to work for my microphone/headset combo (I connect and hear others ok, but they can't hear me). When I use PTT the listener hears a brief amount of what I say, then constant "pings" while holding the PTT key ("T" key on keyboard) down. And while I have a wheel button (Logitech MOMO) assigned to the "T" key, nothing at all happens when I push that button.  I run rFactor on an hP 17" laptop (dv7T w/ AMD Turion X2 RM-72 Dual Core, 4GB ram, 250GB HD) using Vista 64. Any ideas, or is more info about my system needed? BTW I have the same problem with Ventrillo. Thanks. Dave Pratt

If the teamspeak window is active at the time you're holding down the keyboard "T" key, you'll get that pinging...Teamspeak is picking up the warning bell that Windows gives you when you've reached the end of a text field. 

I suspect you're teamspeak is working just fine, but you're having trouble with push-to-talk. To confirm this, try connecting with PTT turned off and use voice-activiation. If that works OK (after adjusting the mic sensitivity in TeamSpeak) then you just need to get PTT working right.

What are you using to assign the "T" key to your wheel button? If it's Logitech's Profiler I find that I need to ALT-TAB to teamspeak, then ALT-TAB to rFactor, enter the monitor and click in the chat window and then press the push-to-talk button I've assigned and make sure I see a bunch of "T"s appearing in the chat window...Then the push-to-talk should be working fine (go ahead and delete that line of T's and click elsewhere so you don't accidentally send TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT in the chat window :) )

Now, according to others, an older version of the Logitech Profiler doesn't require you to jump through those hoops to get the push-to-talk working

Thanks for the reply Dennis.  I'm not sure if it is just PTT, but I use Logitech Wingman to assign a wheel button to the "T" key.  I had a bit of trouble getting TS to take the ALT-TAB combo, but I think I have that now.  Now I'll try to assign the button to ALT-TAB.  We'll see.   Thanks again.   -Dave

You don't need to assign ALT-TAB to a button. Use ALT-TAB to switch between windows apps...what you need to do is launch teamspeak, launch rFacotr, ALT-TAB back to teamspeak and then ALT-TAB back to rFactor.....if you ALT-TAB out of rFactor to access any other application...email, chat, Motec, whatever, you need to ALT-TAB to Teamspeak and then ALT-TAB to rFactor so that teamspeak will continue to work properly.

You might also want to check if you have any of those funking keyboard accessibility settings checked.  I know it can do weird things if not set correctly.
