Sugar coat it all you like – the change was FORCED when they could have left it to defaults and gave you the way to use this new codec rather than FORCE the change and give you a way to change it back.
Lol really…? If it ain’t broke – don’t fix it.

If it wasn't optional, you wouldn't be able to change your servers back. -- Nicholas Hastings AlliedMods.net <http://www.alliedmods.net> HD <mailto:[email protected]> Wednesday, December 21, 2016 8:11 PM Why force this change onto people from what was default? You should have made this optional not the other way around. I'm changing all my servers I have left back to the old codec as there are just too many players having issues with it and others sound like they are in a hole. -----Original Message----- From: hlds [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Smith Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2016 8:05 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list; [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 update released Yes, the voice codec note was missed in the original update but was added later this afternoon: Note missed from the previous update: - The CELT voice codec is now the default for all game servers - Community servers can enable use of the older steam voice codec with sv_use_steam_voice 1 Apologies for not also sending this information to the mailing lists.

I would set these setting and restart the server to make sure it set everything properly. For most people their Mic quality is improved however, a significant minority of players were have a issue. When they tried to talk it sounded very quite to the point where you can almost not hear them. I don't think this is a issue with the new Voice Codec but with setting Steam Voice to 0.

Now that it's seems you are making these options the new standard is there any information you can give us as to why this may be happen to certain players and how to fix it?
