Viavoice Microphone

[Rebecca ♠️]

Hey all!  So I did a big update on my computer and now viavoice won't work.  I think I figured out one of the problems.  It looks like viavoice wanted to connect to an external microphone and not the one in my computer.  So I changed those settings and it took me to the readjust audio setup wizard.

This is the main problem I'm having now:

When I get to the step that asks you to say certain words into the mic, I click test and this shows up.  I closed babyz like it suggested but that doesn't seem to be helping :/

Any advice on where to go from here?

I forgot to add I closed discord and skype and every other application as well that may be using the mic.  Honestly this is the only thing open.

Alright so I tried turning my computer on and off again and that didn't help.  So I may reinstall viavoice.

Playing around with it more it seems like the main problem is actually still that it wants to use an external mic and not my computer one.

I only have these two mic options.  I realized idk what line-in device means (when I click it it wants me to connect a mic) so idk how to get it to use my built in mic.  When I choose either of these options I either get the thing I mentioned in the first post orrrr it tries to pick up room noise and nothing happens (I click the button and it doesn't start recording).

I feel like the solution may be simple and obvious but I'm just not seeing it xD

Sorry I can't be more help to you. I don't use the computer mic for mine. I always had to do a headset of some kind. I could never get the internal computer mic to work with the game.

I did find this thread from Hannah about using headphones to provide the background noise. I don't know if you need to have a mic attached for it to work or not. This is what I do...

The only other thing I could think of is trying Carolyn's Viavoice fix.

^Yeah I am pretty sure you don't need a microphone for my fix, you technically don't need headphones either but if you don't put headphones in then you have to play audio pretty damn loud for everyone to hear xD I've also since found that it usually works better with speech audio rather than music. It seems to prefer sharper, sudden noises to smooth constants. Anyways its still an option if you're desperate.

Thank you guys for the help! I have to find some headphones that work with my computer and then I will test this out

Thank you!

After I typed up the last post I realized my headphones won’t work with my computer so I need to find some that will and aren’t broken : P then life got hectic so I guess it’s time to find the headphones and test this now that I can play babyz again!

I hope you get it working! It's frustrating not to have the mic working and it feels like it stops working sometimes for no reason ><

Thank you!

Also I’m moving this to the archives for now since I haven’t really gotten around to it because of my schedule. If I have any more issues I’ll just post here again!
