Talking in TS

[CrescentGent]

So i don't use TS all that often but when i do i can't mute it when im in DayZ itself. For example, i will be travelling along and i come across a person, i alert the channel that i saw that person and went to mute. I don't hear the "Microphone Muted" guy so i have to minimise, mute and then open the game, vice versa to un-muting it too. I had a friend that told me how to do it a while ago but i forgot what he told me

If anyone could help me, it would be much appreciated !!

You could try assigning a hotkey to mute your microphone so you don't have to tab out

Steps:

Options > Hotkeys > Add > Toggle microphone mute - then press the key you want it to be and press ok

Hope this helped  

You can do the same to mute your sound also just make sure you add a new hotkey and press "toggle speaker mute"

I do. With the Razer Deathadder, it has a back and forward button which i guess is to be used in browsers and stuff. I use that to mute it, it usually works but for some reason it won't mute without me manually minimizing and then pressing the mute button

Try removing the hotkey and add a different one, maybe a number pad key you don't ever need. If that doesn't work, come back and let me know. Then we will find a different solution somehow

You should check on Settings->options -> notifications to see if you actually have enabled  the voice option that tells you for example "microphone muted"

Also this might help you out: a little tutorial how to set up short keys on TS.

Apparently that doesn't work, damn. I swear it had something to do with settings, probably wrong. Thanks for suggestions though

Try using a key on your keyboard for the hotkey for example I use the decimal on the numpad which works fine for me and I don't have any problems with that. 

Let me know if that works out for you

Take a look at what ronknopf said above, if not then I am out of Ideas

That's what I suggested but apparently  thats not working for him either.

This ^

You can find this in the settings under hotkeys I believe.

I use alt 1 to mute sound and if you press it again it brings it back.

As Phoenix has stated the best thing you can do is set up some hotkeys. To do this: open TS, click on "Settings" --> "Options"

Once you do this go down to "Hotkeys" as you can see here:

Click on this button:

It will bring you to this screen: 

Go to "Microphone." Double-click "Toggle Microphone Mute" and it will prompt you to select a key to bind.

Once you choose a key, hit "Ok" and you should be good!

Let me know if this helps!

EDIT: People too fast. Once you are on the hotkey page, try to delete your existing bind and change the key you are using.

Try to change it to a different key, try to set it to a mouse key if you have extra buttons on your mouse.

Glad I was able to fix your issue over teamspeak. 

Just needed to run both DayZ and TS3 in administrator.
