Everyone knows what communication problems arise in a person if he is deprived of the possibility of voice communication. Like any other team game, WoT involves voice communication with other participants in the battle. But sometimes it happens that technology fails. What to do if it suddenly became impossible to talk with other participants in the game? First, let's see why a microphone may not work at all.
Why the microphone does not work in World of Tanks
The microphone may not work for various reasons. Alternatively, first you need to check whether this feature is enabled in the game itself.
To do this, go to the "Settings" menu, find the "Sound" tab in it. Please note that a checkmark is next to "Enable voice communication". If not, then install. In the drop-down tab, check whether the microphone installed in the system is selected and whether it is there at all. At the same time, look at the sensitivity of the microphone. If it accidentally stands at zero, then set the desired value. If everything is fine on this tab, then you need to understand further.
Let's try to find out exactly where the problem occurs. You can start Skype and check if the microphone works in it. If the device works in Skype, then. the problem is in the game.
A similar check can be done with regular tools of the operating system. We’ll use the “Sound Equipment Setup Wizard”. To start it, you need to go to the "Control Panel" and find the item "Sounds and Audio Devices" there. This tool allows you to initially record your voice, and then play it through the player. With its help, you can make high-quality tuning of sound, without the admixture of external noise.
ATTENTION! It is possible that the microphone in the game does not work due to poor contact between the device and the socket on the sound card, or there is damage. Make sure that the microphone wires are not broken and are connected properly.
If the device works fine, but there is still no connection in the game, then the matter is for third-party reasons.
How to set up a microphone in the World of Tank
Sometimes the sound of a microphone can disappear because some players, especially those who are poorly versed both in the game and in the computer as a whole, studying the WoT settings, reset all of them to standard ones. Therefore, the sound may disappear, because the game no longer sees the microphone and needs to be configured again.
In this situation, there is no need to do a reset, just in the sound tab you need to check the item "Enable voice communication". After that, we update the device and select the microphone we need. After that, we test the sound from the selected device. In addition, you can adjust the settings.
There are times when some firewalls prevent the game client from working with ports that have sound devices.
This is verified by simply disabling the firewall. If the sound at the microphone appeared, it means that the reason is blocked by security means.
ATTENTION! To fix this situation, you need to enable the ports: 12000-29999 UDP, 80-443 TCP, 5060-5062 UDP and 3478-3479 UDP. As soon as the necessary rules are described in the settings, the sound will no longer be blocked.
There may also be no sound due to the processor of the computer being overloaded. He simply does not cope with the processing of all the commands that are sent to him. Often this happens with older models. In such situations, the sound may be distorted, disappear.
To solve this situation, you must disable the programs that load the CPU most.
There is one mistake in the game itself. If the user has previously played in "team battles", and after starting the game in a platoon, he may not be heard in the general chat. To get rid you need to restart the game client, and if it does not help, then completely the computer.
Sometimes it happens that the game is already loading with an error, in this case voice messages are impossible. At the same time, the user cannot seem to notice anything, because the game is working properly, all tanks can take part in hostilities. In this case, similarly to the previous situation, a full reboot is required.
And most importantly, to minimize the likelihood of the disappearance of voice communications, you need to regularly update the sound card driver. If you connect to the Internet through a router, then do not forget to update its drivers periodically. The best option would be to put a program that monitors the relevance of versions of all system drivers and automatically updates them. And the last point - do not put the microphone gain above ten decibels. Often this leads to the fact that the connection disappears. From time to time, the client simply cannot identify devices with such settings.
