Voice Quality on Live

[slobdell]

I've been noticing that when using a cell phone headset with my wireless controller the sound quality of voice on live isn't that good. Not as good as on the original xbox.

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this and maybe if i buy the 360 headset the quality will improve? It just sounds kind of fuzzy. i'm also noticing a lot more echoing too in pre-game lobbies in COD2.

It depends on who is hosting the game. People with cable modems and DSL usually don't have enough upstream to host a big CoD2 game.

this is why i never host a game as i have a 3meg connection which is about 350k down but only 35k up and that causes problems on metal of honor when i host a game on the pc.

Cablekiller who should host the game then buddy?

[slobdell]

good point. people who don't have cable or dsl have dail up and i dont think they should be hosting anything.

Someone with a higher upstream. Like me! :) I have 6meg down and 2meg up.

Echo on XBL is caused by people having thier systems on to loud it echos back in thier headset. Look at who is echoing and ask them to turn down the sound.

Doesnt Infinty Ward host the games, i thought i saw a thread that you cant make a LIVE game for CoD2 yet.

[slobdell]

but seriously, does anyone else notice more static on live for 360? can anyone tell me if they have noticed no different between the voice quality on xbox and 360, and whether your using a microsoft headset or a cell phone headset? thanks

[slobdell]

its a simple question. I just need an answer

[ZpYkE]

Hey, when you join live on pdz with two ppl playing at once, can they both have headsets?

[slobdell]

I don't know, make your own thread. I just need one single person to answer me a question. AM I THE ONLY ONE GETTING EXTRA STATIC WHEN PLAYING ON 360 LIVE?

[robmaster]

yes:)

I also noticed the quality of voice being bad on the 360. At first I thought it was the new headset, so i plugged in the old xbox headset into the mini jack, still sounded like junk. I still wonder if the quality is only bad with the wireless controllers. If anyone has tried this with a wired controller that would help.

My friend got a wired controller, we tested it but it didn't do much better. I am wondering if it's the compression that's being used. It seems to be better if I am in a game.
