    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Headset Boom Mic is constantly being muted

How is it that months and months can go by with this headset and boom mic working flawlessly and then one morning I turn on the computer, get into Teamspeak and the mic is constantly being muted? Nothing has changed as far as device drivers. . .my routine is the same every single day, I get up, start the PC, get some coffee, load Teamspeak and Bill (WND) and I converse about all things FlightSim. There's nothing complicated about hitting the "ON" switch to start the PC. Yet it works one day. . .I close things out for the night. . .turn it back on in the morning and it's as though it has Alzheimer's and can't remember anything.:redfire::redfire::banghead::banghead:
 
I don't know Ed. We're getting along in years. Some mornings things work and some mornings they don't. :banghead:

Check your sound settings in Control Panel to see if your headset is the default communications device. There are some options for auto-muting that might be responsible for what you're getting.
 
I have checked everything dozens of times over the past few days and to be honest, I haven't seen anything anywhere that relates to "auto-muting".

Yep, and/or check the little speaker icon in the right hand tray of the task bar. I sometimes turn the volume way down on video I'm watching and it seems to change that as well which effects everything else.

Nope this isn't a case of volume turned down, this is going into the sound menu, selecting "Recording", then "levels" and seeing the speaker symbol muted, as in a red slash through the icon. If I select it to remove the mute and raise the slider to a mid range volume and save. . .I can close everything out. . .go back to that same menu and the "Mic" is muted again.

I use a headset/boom mic but the "mic" is the only thing affected. I can run the Mic Configuration program, I can see the progress bar shows that my voice is recognized, I can complete the setup and save. . .yet it makes no difference. Something is causing this and I am at a loss to figure out what. I want to blame it on Win10, or it's invisible updates because that's the most obvious, but I just don't know.
 
Suddenly my X-52 j/s is not recognised by W10. Oddly my Russian VKB is functioning just fine. Do I smell Russian collusion? :dizzy:
