Add voice chat to online games

If you're serious about multiplayer PC gaming, communicating with your fellow players via in-game voice-chat features is a must. We'll show you how to make it happen by setting up a two-way headset.

Why you should convert your old PC into a home audio server.

What the editors say
1

Play smarter and better.

You're busy unloading a magazine on an opposing force when you catch glimpse of a grenade rolling up behind your teammate. There's no time to type a text message, but with a two-way headset, you'll be able to alert your comrade to the danger before it strikes.

2

Talk trash up close and personal.

"You suck" means so much more when you say it out loud where everybody can hear it. Whether you're talking trash to a camper or congratulating a teammate on a well-placed shot, voice chatting is the way to go.

3

Take a break from the action.

Trigger finger feeling worn out in the middle of a deathmatch? Take a break and shoot the breeze with your fellow players.
