Microphone Problem
delirium_trigger:
Whenever I host a server in Garry's Mod I seem to have a problem with people talking. The server itself does not experience any other lag. Whenever somebody talks it cuts them off from talking every 2-3 seconds. Nobody can say a complete sentence. It is very odd.
I know this is not because of my connection because I can host in other games (HL2, Left 4 Dead) and people talk perfectly fine in my server.
What can cause this, could it be related to ULX? Is there a way to fix this?
Megiddo:
Never heard of this problem, and shouldn't be anything related to ULX, sorry.
JamminR:
Though ULX mute command does have a timer when activated, they wouldn't be able to talk for 2-3 seconds.
The timer fires every .3 (about 3 times a second) on the muted player.
Worth trying 'ulx unmute *' from the console, but we (Team Ulysses) seriously doubt that is the issue.
Gmod/Garry may use different (old?) codecs than what the newer games do.
Gmod is, usually, much more bandwidth intensive than the games you mention.
Combine that with any number of codec/audio issues on the server and it may cause that.
Have any other audio mods, HLSS, etc? Look into those too.
delirium_trigger:
I do not have anything like HLSS and unmute didn't work. If the problem is because of the game's inferior codecs is there a way to replace or change the codecs to optimize sound in the server?
JamminR:
Don't know. That's just a suggestion.
Again, it may actually be due to bandwidth too. Gmod uses more than any other game most times.
Try Google.
Or (*gasp*) try asking in Facepunch forums "Gmod help"
I wouldn't recommend mentioning 'ulx' though. Too many will try to blame it.
If you remove ULX/Ulib, does the sound issue stop?
Also, some report UTeam breaks voice. Make sure if you are using Uteam that you have sv_alltalk 1 in your server.cfg file.
That really isn't caused by UTeam...see http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,3297.msg9854.html#msg9854
(If that fixes it, well, technically, Gmod sv_alltalk is broken...you shouldn't even hear 1-2 seconds)
