=VG= Renainn Posted April 15, 2012 at 04:46 AM Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 at 04:46 AM Ok so I use TS on my 2nd computer and play on my main computer. My 2nd computer is the hand me down computer made from the parts that I upgraded from for the main computer.I have used teamspeak on the 2nd computer for many many years. I have always wanted to make it so I can play with my friends while in TS and then be able to voice chat in game.I found a USB switch, but whenever I switched between the two computers, Windows wanted to re-install the USB headset.So I made my own work-a-round.The Headset Switch Box.It is nothing fancy, just 2 switches, 6 - 1/8 inch stereo jacks, some wire, and a project box.Here is the picture of it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= SemlerPDX Posted April 15, 2012 at 01:09 PM Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 at 01:09 PM ha ha ha! I don't exactly see why the need for a second PC to run TS3 - unless it's a "second monitor" workaround. I used my laptop for TS3 when it conflicted with Falcon 4: AF for a time. Nowadays, I just use a Y jack on my SoundBlaster for my 2.1 and my headset mic at the same time. Is this for the second monitor, to see the TS3 channels - or is it a performance thing/internet ports/USB ports hardware issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest airbornealways Posted April 15, 2012 at 01:12 PM Guest Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 at 01:12 PM Pretty ingenuous idea. Will have to keep that in mind for hooking on set of speakers to all four of my computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= Renainn Posted April 15, 2012 at 05:33 PM Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 at 05:33 PM Actually, the second computer idea was a way to use parts that I had upgraded from. The computer was set up so I could use TS and research r when I played Everquest. EQ had a nasty habit of being brought down by TS. Plus for the quests I could look them up and have the help easily ready.So I just keep it going for the ease of use with TS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest AirborneAlways Posted April 15, 2012 at 06:43 PM Guest Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 at 06:43 PM I never let computer hardware go to waste. Only one of the two desktops and a laptop did I pay for, the other two desktops were free for the taking by owners who had upgraded to newer.So I always look for new ingenuous ways of making them all work together (two systems are Microsnot, one Unbuntu and one Mint).

Pvt. Pirate Posted April 16, 2012 at 09:32 AM Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 at 09:32 AM nice little box :)i thought of having such a switchbox for VGA monitor.my desk is too small for two monitors and i would love to have a second computer for playing old DOS-games and maybe it would be great as you said for research while playing. so my idea was having both PCs connected to one screen and switch between them if needed :) same for keyboard and PS2 mouse.

=VG= Renainn Posted April 26, 2012 at 04:03 AM Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 at 04:03 AM The issue with KVM switches is that they are too expensive for what I need and those that use USB have the same issue of straight USB switches. Windows will re-detech the hardware everytime it is switched on and want to reinstall drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
