== Adjust the Microphone and Speaker volumes == | |||
Finally we will adjust the Microphone and Loudspeaker volumes to an optimum, as well for yourself as also for your fellow players. | |||
<ol> | |||
<li>Start your FGFS and FGCOM as described in the forgoing chapter(s), the COM1 must be switched to 910.00 and be the active one.</li> | |||
<li>Talk into your Microphone and verify the delayed feedback. If this does not function as described before, repeat the forgoing chapters.</li> | |||
<li>While talking into the microphone adjust your loudspeaker so that your echoed voice is understandable, but not louder than required.</li> | |||
<li>Now adjust your microphone volume from 0 to full. Somewhere in between you will find a spot at which the microphone volume will not increase according to the volume set. Leave the volume just a little below that point.</li> | |||
<li>After the microphone is set, adjust the loudspeaker volume to a level you prefer</li> | |||
<li>Finally verify both settings by keeping the PTT pressed for about 10 seconds without talking and/or feeding any other sounds into the microphone. | |||
<ul><li>listen for "funny noises" building up over time (hard to describe: some "unverified whoosh" and maybe additional even some sound like "air in a water-pipe" - actually: Whenever you hear anything --> it is no good!!!). | |||
<li>Mostly this "build up sounds with time" are due to an active microphone booster, try to keep that booster to an absolute minimum (even better try to switch it off completely if not really needed!) while instead increasing the microphone volume</li> | |||
<li> but also a rather high adjusted speaker may cause such "funny noises" - try reducing the loudspeaker volume if you cannot solve the problem by adjusting the microphone and/or booster. | |||
<li>then you might readjust as described in the forgoing items.</li></ul> | |||
<li>While "on Air" in MP keep the PTT pressed only while actually talking - and never longer than about 10 sec. (After some time you will be timed out anyhow - but even befor that drastic cutoff you might give your co-players a chance to say something!) | |||
<li>Now you are ready to talk to others, e.g. set your COM1 to the desired frequency an let your co-players praise you for that "absolute brilliant voice you have"!</li></ul></ol> | |||
