SYMPTOMS
When you start a game as a host from the Microsoft SideWinder Game Voice software, other players in the game can hear you when you talk, but you may be unable to hear the other players when they talk.

In addition, when you switch between the Game Voice software and the game, sounds in the game may not be played, and the voices of the other players may be distorted.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the game that you are playing does not share the sound card properly with other programs.
