Voice Chat (In Game)

Source: Official Forum

To set up voice chat in game:

Before using voice chat, you must first make sure that your microphone is set up in correctly in Windows, and then turn on the correct settings in-game:

  • Check that your headphone and microphone jacks are plugged in correctly – on most headsets and soundcards, the headphone jack is light green and the microphone jack is orange.
  • Check that your headset’s external volume control (if present) is turned up.
  • Check that your headset’s external microphone ON/OFF switch (if present) is turned ON.
  • Go to Start >> Control Panel >> Sounds and Audio Devices.
    • On the Audio tab, click on the Volume button in the Sound Recording section. This should open up the Recording Control window.
    • Check that the Microphone option is checked. If you don’t see the Microphone entry, select Advanced Controls from the Options menu.
    • Close the Recording Control window and click on the Volume button in the Sound Playback section of the Sounds and Audio Devices control panel. This should open up the Volume Control window:
    • Check that the Mute checkbox under the microphone slider is checked.
  • Open up the Windows Sound Recorder. You can find it by going to Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Entertainment >> Sound Recorder.
    • Click the Record button (red circle) in the lower right-hand corner of the window and speak a few words into your microphone. Hit the Stop button and then the Play button to play back your recording. If your microphone is set up correctly in Windows, you will hear yourself speaking.
    • Close the Windows Sound Recorder. You do not need to save your sound file.
  • Log into LOTRO.
    • Open up the Options panel and click on the Audio button.
    • Click on the Mic Test checkbox and a volume meter will appear. Speak into your microphone – if your microphone is working correctly in LOTRO, you will see the volume meter go up while you are speaking. Turn off the Mic Test when you’re done.
    • Next click the Enable Voice Chat and Hands Free Voice checkboxes to turn on voice chat.
    • To enable a keybinding for voice chat click on the keybindings tab
Using Voice Chat
Now that you’ve completed your setup, you’ll probably to start using voice chat. In order to do this, you simply need to find a party that is using voice chat, or start one of your own.

Please make sure that you have voice chat turned on before you join the party – otherwise it probably won’t work right. If you want to turn on voice chat while you’re already in a party, you should leave the party, turn voice chat on, and join the party again. If you forget to do this and your voice chat breaks, logging out and logging back in again should fix the problem.

Voice chat options are turned off by default.
