HI all, First post here. I love Voice Attack.  Can anyone tell me how to make VA listen to the Oculus Microphone?  I was able to get it to work with Team Speak but no luck with VA.
Many thanks, Sorry if I missed an earlier post on this subject.

Have you set it up as the default recording device? You can do so through VoiceAttack by clicking  , clicking the "Audio" tab, then selecting the Oculus microphone in the dropdown underneath the "Set Windows Default Audio Recording Device on Startup" label, and clicking "Change Now".

You'll also want to retrain the speech recognition engine for your new microphone.

Dear Pfeil,
thanks for the feedback. I will give it a go. Does this mean however that should I want to use my normal headset that it will not work in Voice Attack if I do this?

You don't have to delete the old speech profile, as it'll still work with the old headset, however I'm not sure whether switching to a recording device also switches to a speech engine profile associated with it. You may need to do so manually.

If you use the profile for one microphone with the other hardware, recognition will likely be very poor.


To switch devices on the fly, you can set up a command for that using the "Change Audio Devices" action found under Other > Windows, so you can use both.
