Skype for Voice Comms during Online Gaming

Anthonyg92 · 13-04-2008, 5:03 PM

Hello People. Ive just got Skype and as said in another thread it is a very easy and very free (lol?) to use!!
Simple to configure and I assume very easy to add people as friends...
Get it ASAP if you feel the need to talk during online matches of Wii's infuriatingly Mic'less online modes!
The website to get it is !here!
Sign up.. It will be fun, and what more incentive is there than that!!!!!

After you have signed up (if you sign up) post your name here so we can all add each other!

I will post all names here and update them regularly so no one needs to trawl through the posts in search of names.

Like the sound of this as if I get PES2008 it will work well for this and MK.

Think will need a USB headset as can't see on my laptop where to connect the mini-jack type, well have got a headphone and a mic socket but don't know if that would work.

My Mic is a wired 360 controller hooked upto the PC with USB. And the 360 Wired Mic stuck in the bottom.. And believe me it actually works

Sweet! Just remember you 'may' have to install something but im not quite sure.. I dont think so... Also you may need to configure it in your Control Panel ---> Sounds and Audio Devices ---> Voice. Both of mine are set to Headset (....). Also under the Tab 'Audio' my 'Sound Recording' is the Headset!
Hope it helped altough I didn't think you asked for help did you?? Hmmm...

EDIT: You will need to go to the Microsoft website or Google 'Microsoft XBox 360 Accessories' and download and install the software.. Sorry I forgot

Answer to your question... Yes, I think so

Was asking for help.

Just downloaded the skype software but whats this other thing you had to installed?

Will have a look under my sound options as you done.

Cheers, I posted in the other thread about Skype, my 360 & PS3 are no where near my Wii hence why Skype is the solution for me to the ridiculous comms situation.

I'm away for a couple of days in the Ukraine but when I'm back I'll post again once I have set-up my Skype comms.

reddevil63 · 13-04-2008, 6:49 PM

Woohoo, got Skype working using wired 360 controller and headset.

Skype contact is avf.gary

OK I'm up and trucking:- Skype - oldman1002

oldman100 · 16-04-2008, 2:41 PM

Judging by the fact we only have three posters here I would say the preferred method of comms for the Wii must be via a 360 game lobby perhaps.

That's a no go for me as my 360 is no where near the location of my Wii.

Well I hope I catch-up with reddevil63 & Anthonyg92 on MK soon.

Surprised no more have taken this up as am sure not everyone has a Wii and 360 and even better its free, the program is but all you need is a cheapo headset.

Will add you oldman.
