Help with SAM +REP

[iLogan]

Hey,

Is there a way that I can mute my microphone from being played back to me, but it's still outputted on air, if that makes sense, so I can't hear my mic from sam, but I can still hear the backing track etc?

I'm assuming you're using SAM4, you can't disable that. Downgrade to SAM2 and that feature isn't actually included.

I actually prefer hearing my mic played back to me.

I'm using SAM3

you can do it by simply disabling the microphone playback on your main computer audio settings - make sure that the microphone input isn't muted but its output is - so you can record and all that but just not hear the playback.

I can't stand having it on either. I tried it before and when I was talking on air and my voice was coming through I'd end up hearing myself and stumbling over my words.

It might be different on a different operating system for example Windows 7 and windows xp audio settings are a bit different. If you have Window's 7 I think it's control panel - hadware and sound - then sound. You'll have a playback and recording tab and it should be on the playback tab I think - I've been using windows 7 a bit now but some things I'm still used to XP for.

Isn't that if you "Listen to Device" on so you can hear you mic 24/7.

With SAM the mic is only played if it's on via Voice FX.

I think if you mute the microphone's playback on your pc it will mute it on sam to.

In other words I have it muted on windows and so when I hold to click or simply unlock the microphone on sam I can talk and then lock it to play music. When I talk I don't hear myself because my pc is set not to playback my microphone. There might be a separate setting to mute the playback on SAM but as far as I remember you just need to mute it on your pc itself.

You can do this by:

1. clicking Config on Voice FX
2. where it says "Voice FX Destination" click encoders.

Output will still go to the radio but you wont hear it.

Thanks Lamar, I +REP'd you in the other thread.

NEXT QUESTION: I did this the other day so I know it's possible,

How do you make VAC playback what I'm hearing from SAM (not the encoder output) and relay it to Skype? Remember my mic is going to have to be included in the VAC setup as it's muted on what I hear from SAM, oh and remember I'm Double DJing whilst I do this so likes 1 - 4 are occupied.

Thanks

it should work even with the playback muted
