Suggestion to players on VoiP who use the "always on" mic option...

Don't. ha ha I'm suggesting this to help you. Please bear in mind that it is exceedingly distracting (and annoying) for everyone else to hear your T.V., iPod, etc. blaring in the background. Or if you decide to start breaking down cardboard boxes, break rocks with a sledgehammer, clearing your throat and nose constantly, or maybe crush empty potato chip sacks, whatever, while grouping. All of that comes through loud and clear to everyone else.

So, I beg of you kindly, STAHP ! LOL Please?

Unless they’re playing Milkshake by Kelis on a loop, in which case it’s entirely acceptable to leave the mic on.

I have gone through a number of headsets over the past two years. I really am gentle with them....

Anyway, some headsets are more annoying than others. One headset I had was bad in Teamspeak, but OK in Discord.

Best advice I can give is use a headset with either Push to Talk or one that has an easy way to turn off the mic, like by elevating the microphone.

Oh, and the headset I am using now is a Turtle Beach and I am not annoying anyone with that. Well, at least the background noise is not annoying them.......

But one can hope!

We actually had a weird occurrence with Discord last night where someone's ingame audio was coming through into everyone else's headsets. I could tell who it was by looking at the names when their audio activated, but he had no idea what was causing it, either.

Edited to mention that, oh, he was also wearing a closed headset. So it shouldn't have been bleeding over as if he were listening on speakers and using a desk top mic or whatnot.
