Teamspeak

The French guild I'm in uses Teamspeak voice chat to communicate in groups. So Saturday I bought a headset with microphone, and yesterday I finally got it working correctly. Setting up a microphone in Windows is not a trivial task, it isn't exactly plug-n-play. The Teamspeak program itself is well done, and works without problems. It is rather the sound card with its drivers and the mixer that is hard to set up.

So my new rogue went on a guild group to Wailing Caverns, using Teamspeak. I can see how that is attractive to people who don't like typing. But personally I'm not convinced. The headset was pressing on my ears, so after a couple of hours of wearing it they hurt. And worst of all, my wife doesn't like me using the headset, she feels locked out somehow. So I don't think I'll be using this system much. Maybe a switch-activated desktop microphone would be better.
