Ok so I know a thing or two about in-game VOIP

and tried all the usual fiddling with windows settings, in-game settings, checked all cables etc etc and still cant get it to work.

While on the multiplayer screen, I can see my mate in the party, and when I speak I can see the voice level indicator going up when I speak, but he hears nothing... and same from his side.

We tried Skype and all is 100% with that.

Anyone else run into this, and perhaps have a suggestion to fix it?

Cheers
 
I found this ......... maybe helps.



We have a list of known bugs that will affect StarCraft II's operations.

- A language pack error may occur under certain conditions. Potential Fix – Ensuring your system clock is correct can help resolve the error.

- Players can send voice but do not receive voice in game on Windows 7 machines with Realtek HD Audio sound cards when the Output Device on the Sounds Menu option is set to the Speakers.

- Sound does not play properly on some hardware set to 7.1 sound on Windows Vista/Windows. Potential Workaround – Change sound output speaker options to 5.1 or lower.

- Changing the OS speaker mode on Windows Vista or Windows 7 while the game is running causes all sound to stop

- Players that are attempting to download or install to a Hard Drive using the FAT32 file format will be unable to download or use the digital installer. Workaround – Download or install the digital client to a NTFS formatted hard drive.

- Mac version 10.6 – Occasionally a crash is occurring with Nvidia drivers.

- Mac - Using a USB headset will drastically lower in game FPS.

- There is a chance where multiple graphic issues may occur for units, structures, terrain, and transmissions. This tends to be one set of objects (like a supply depot) or level of terrain where textures are swapped or look a bit psychedelic. It doesn't affect the whole game screen or cause any other visual oddities.

- Galaxy Editor - Terrain editor lags when dragging the mouse around on the map.

- Galaxy Editor - Changing certain values in the Galaxy Editor is causing a crash while in detail view.

- Graphical corruption can occur when Paged Pool memory gets low. Potential Fix – Close unnecessary background applications and restart client.
 
cool, thanks for that man. Will fiddle around some more with the settings and hopefully get it right! :)

Exactly the same thing please post if you find a solution
