How do you get the microphone to work?

[ramenmaster]

-WARNING! Noob within range!- :/
I know this topic is pretty much scattered around the forums, but I just couldn't find the answer I was looking for.

I'm using a Logitech Digital Precision headset with the two jack in plugs (one for sound and one for the mic.) The computer is Windows XP.

I did a mic test in program files->sounds and audio devices->voice->test hardware, and it read my voice perfectly. I was able to hear it as well.

I did the mic test in DDO, and it doesn't read it. I cranked up all the voice volume stuff and still nothing.

(Not sure if this part's important.) The only options and for the voice playback and capture is soundMAX Digital Audio. I tried to change the sound playback to both hardware and software and nothing changed.

Yeah, I'm very noob. What's EAX? :/

Sorry again! But I would like someone to help me. It would be VERY appreciated. Please and thanks you very much.

Did you map a key for Voice Push To Talk under your Keymapping options?

I enabled it to hands free voice. Just to be more sure, I pressed F, which is the button assigned to voice push to talk, but that still doesn't work.

You need two turntables.

Really? Hmm... Would you please explain what kinds of features does it have that will enable my headset to work?

Sorry, I just can't think of how it's relevant to the use of the microphone.

"Two turntables and a microphone" is a line in a song by Beck

If you plugged your new headphone in after starting ddo, it will not be aware of any changes you made to your audio. although windows is plug and play, ddo is not. try reloading ddo after you have the mic set up in windows, then scroll all the way down the audio page to the bottom and make sure the voice in is set to the headphone mic.

Yes, the headset is plugged in before starting the game and the voice playback/capture at the bottom of the options->audio section is set to my headset.

I know I can play without a mic, but I'm just frustrated that I can't even get that feature to work.
