Cannot hear IVC in multiplayer
-
According to my squadron, they can hear me on IVC but I cannot hear them. Most people think it is a firewall issue.
system
windows 7
Norton 360 with firewall active and BMS and IVC allowed
Windows firewall disabled
Hooked up directly to a Comcast modem and not a router so there is no port issues
My IP is a public IP.Before I got my new computer, I ran BMS and IVC with Norton on XP and had no problems. Now with Win7, I cannot hear anyone on IVC.
Does anyone believe that there are some settings in Norton that I need to change?
Hi Sobe, tangled up with work tonight but yesterday what we forgot is to try someone elses IVC ( we just tried Belgrif ), if shad is around have him host IVC to see if it makes a diff
-
make sure you set “Run as administrator” on the IVC client EXE properties.
-
I have the opposite problem, I can hear them but they can’t hear me. Gonna check a few things this week and hopefully it works.

You have the same frequency? not the channel, frequency.
-
Sobe its not that you can’t hear us, we’r just not talking to you
-
Huh? Did you guys hear something from Shad, I didn’t hear a thing?

UDP ports 9987, 9988 and 9989
thanks couldnt remember what the exact numbers were, just like you had to forward the 2XXX series ports you also have to open up the ports that cali mentioned above or you wont get IVC working.

I only remembered cause I wrote them down, I just opened them so hopefully my IVC will work now and they can hear me.

UPDATE
First, since I have a modem and no router, there are no ports to forward. This has been confirmed to me by Viper, the world’s leading expert on this stuff.Second, I have eliminated a firewall or Norton issue.
Third, it is either a Realtek sound chip or Win7 issue or combination of both and possibly a BMS error.
When I run in windows mode and have the volume mixer showing on my second monitor, I can watch the volume tab for IVC and BMS go up and down. However, sometimes, if the game is started and they are down, they stay down. I have played with a number of sound settings and still experimenting. I am going to see if Realtek has an update for its drivers.
The saga continues.

Opening my ports didn’t work, I now have to look into other possibilities/sources/problems. I can hear other people fine, all they hear from me is the clicking of the button.

Alzheimers must be setting in but my understanding is that the 9987-88-89 UDP series of ports are only needed if you are hosting a IVC server.

Update #2
I have the latest Realtek sound drivers already installed so that is a dead end. -

EDIT: Got my IVC working by doing what Boxer said! I just tried this and will check later to see if it worked
@Boxer:One possibility is that you need to go into the sound card driver in windows and ensure that only the Mic is selected as a recording input device and that the default recording device is correctly showing the mic connected to the sound device that you are trying to use.
A present limitation of the IVC code is that it only considers the “Default” devices for recording and playback.
Dema, I haven’t tried the F1 in the lobby yet, will try that tonight or tomorrow. I fly on blue side, Bartek told me the channel 277.20 and it didn’t work still.

I have had this problem. In the BMS manual, it says ports 2934-2937 and 9987-9989 UDP are needed, but on some routers, the TCP equivalent port needs to be open also. I tried this and now I have no IVC problems at all. Hope this helps

Hello,
This is the closest thread I could find regarding sound trouble. I am experiencing a severe reduction in sound in both single player and multiplayer, to the point where the whole house needs to be silent in order for me to hear the flight leader in UHF. This occurs in ramp and runway settings. I’ve updated my driver, maxed out my sound in my OS, maxed out the sound in BMS apply/save and still I can barely hear the RWR/UHF/VHF/ everything to include the menu when I select from the top row of options - TE/Theater/COMMS etc. This problem occurred in the last 5 days. I don’t believe its anything with my sound card as everything outside BMS works fine. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.Thank you,
