Treemonkeys Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I have a USB headset with mic, when I plug it in it creates a separate input/output audio device as most USB headsets do. When I use Ventrilo, I can set it to use the USB sound devices, while leaving my internal sound card as the default device. This lets me still hear all game sounds out of my sound system, while all voice is played through my headset. Does anyone know if this is possible with Left 4 Dead or any source games? I have been able to get the USB mic to work, but the voice sounds from my teammates still play through the speakers, I have not been able to find any setting to change it.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted May 27, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 27, 2009 I don't think it's possible. Ventrilo allows you to select an input/output device. Unfortunately, Left 4 Dead doesn't let you choose your input/output device. It goes by whatever is set as the default in Windows. I'll search around but I doubt I'll find anything.

Master Shake Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Try going to control panel/sounds and audio devices and messing with the voice/audio section. Worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealMySoda Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 If you set the headset mic as default in windows, it should pick that up as the mic. As long as you leave the speakers on default as well it should use those too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
