Binding a Key to Mute Mic

Apollo222 · 11-05-2009, 02:47 PM

Hey everyone this is my first post here, I need some help figuring out how to bind a key to mute or unmute my microphone in-game. I have to exit to windows to do it and that takes a long time. Help me please.

BTW I have an MSI GX620 and the Mic is build in.

Hi and welcome to TSF,
What program are you trying to bind the mic with?
Teamspeak? Ventrilo?

I'm not trying to do it with any programs, I couldnt find any websites to tell me what to do so I just posted here. I have teamspeak but that only works if your on teamspeak with other people doesn't it?

I don't think it's possible to bind a key to turn your mic on and off in Windows.

You should make the microphone so you need to hold down a button so you can talk into it. When I play Left 4 Dead I have it set to the C button so when Ipress it only then does the microphone turn on.

You just need to set it to a bind key, that's all.

What game(s) is this for, many games have whats called Cvars that do different things in the game, one can be to enable/disable mics from which you can toggle bind to a key.
