Hello,

Recently, I switched my PC from a wired connection to a wireless connection. Tonight, while connected to VATSIM, I noticed I could hear the communication from other pilots, but they could not hear me. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with using a wireless connection. I haven't used VATSIM in a while, but when I did, it was with a wired connection. I did a mic check with my headphones and was able to record a brief message, so I know the headphones aren't broken. Anyone else have this type of problem before?? Any help would be most appreciated.

Jeremy

I've always used a wireless connection with VATSIM on here on my laptop and have never had issues. Did you restart your system to see if it was just a fluke?

I use wireless to with no problems, except the occasional VATSIM hickup/s.

Been using a wireless connection on VATSIM for almost a decade with no issues, how is your port forwarding set up?

Are you using Squawkbox or FSinn? I've had similar problems with FSInn. If so, check your settings.

Make sure that your Push to Talk is set up correct

@Mathias I checked the push-to-talk settings, and I had it set for scroll lock. But when I press scroll lock, I hear a buzzer sound!?!?

That means it's not set up properly. Did you apply the change?

The buzzer sound may also mean that you are on a text-only frequency or not an active frequency.
