Sound Input/Output Settings

With the output slider you can set the volume at which you want to hear TeamSpeak at. In Teamspeak 2.0 there are 2 ways to communicate with your friends. The first choice is called push to talk. This means that you have to press and hold a certain button if you want to talk to others. The other way is by voice activation. This means that Teamspeak will automatically transmit to your friends when the program “hears” you talk. You can choose between the 2 voice send methods. If you choose push to talk, select it and press the set button to bind a key.The key you have chosen will now appear onscreen (here the NUM-LOCK key). Whenever you want to transmit you have to press this button. If you want to use a different button press clear and do it again. If you want Voice Activation, select that option. Below that option you will see a bar voice activation level which you have to configure for optimal sound. If you slide the bar to the far left Teamspeak will transmit as soon as you make the slightest sound, even if you whisper, chances are you will be transmitting to your friends all the time while you don’t even know it. If you slide the bar to the far right you have to scream before Teamspeak will actually transmit.
You can do a local test to check your settings and codecs. Choose a codec from the menu and press Activate local test mode. When transmitting the green light next to it will light up. The client will echo your spoken text. This function is a good way to check your Voice Activation setting. When you are done click the Close button to close the window.
