Title: Macbook Pro Microphone problems
Post by: Darklord42 on July 02, 2008, 10:07:15 pm

Hi, I use a 3rd Generation Macbook Pro (Santa Rosa). Whenever I try to activate the microphone in any FS2O program, whether Mac or Windows or various builds for different mods, I get the same error saying "Direct Sound Capture Failed to Initialize."  Now my sound card is a Realtek High Definition Audio device of some sort. Its odd, as microphone works fine in all other programs and in all 3 OSs I have installed. (the other being Linux Ubuntu) I assume it is an FS2/FS2O problem.   Is there anyway around this?

Not really. The microphone code never worked properly anyway. There was a way to fix it in retail but it's been broken in FS2 for ages.
