FSX multiplayer headset doesn't work

[burner12]

Whenever i connect my logitech headset to the computyer and join a game with voice it seems nobody on the other side can hear me but I can hear them. What do you think is wrong?

test the voice hardware prior to entering the sim, right click the volume icon on the taskbar, choose "adjust audio properties", select "voice" then "test hardware" make sure all of the speaker options available are pointing towards the headset you are using give that a try..

You know what the problem was? I hadn't read the help section on headsets. I thought that just speaking into the mic made others hear you. But you have to hold caps lock. So now it works. Thanks for the help.

well thats the most simple of fixes I must say...!!  And just as a side note to that, if you ever decide to share a cockpit with another then you will find to talk to them (co-pilot) you will not have to use the caps lock

I always enter a multiplayer session that shows others have a mic, but there doesn't seem to be very much social interaction during a session. why is that?

Maybe they're too busy flying...
