The Mic?

[Holokauston]

What quality is it? what distance can you use it at?

Working on my game idea and chat inside the game is a given but screen size makes me make that as a pop up function in the UI, but was thinking, the mic, plausible to use while gaming?

In other words, any use putting in a voice chat function and the effort that is in to the game or will it be useless since players will need a USB headset anyway? or is the mic decent enough to manage that?

All I know about the mic is that it is voice grade, nothing more, nothing less. It was mentioned by MWeston in some music editing software topic. Can't find it anymore.

No one knows?

I'm sure MWeston knows. He chose the part. Maybe you just need to give him more than 10 hours to respond

ok, then the question is, does anyone else have an idea? ;P

I recall the quality being said to be 16khz, 16 bit, and that you wouldn't want to record your music with it.

Range-wise, though, I haven't the foggiest.

yeah well I figure it's ok for voice but if you have to talk just 1-2cm from it, it's not so fun to have in a game ^^

Would really help if one could talk at say 30-40cm away from it and still get picked up, for games etc

unless it's just meant as a small voice recorder a'la http://www3.dealtime.com/xPP-voice_recorde...l_tape_recorder

ok now I can say that nobody knows?

anyone know the make and model of the mic?

But will a external mic, or a headset be possible?

Well, the ext socket provides a mic input.
