		Does anyone know what the bitrate is for the chat?  When I hear conversations over Skype, sometimes it sounds better than ingame voice chat.  I'm trying to figure out if it's a bitrate or a hardware issue.

		I'm not surprised that Skype sounds better. I think it has about twice the sample rate. Also people suck at configuring their mics in-game. voice_loopback 1 guys, adjust as necessary.

		I would assume so, since they're not handling the data transfer load like a MP game like TF2.  I've already configured my mic with Windows and Steam, how do I properly configure the voice_loopback 1 command?

		If you type voice_loopback 1 in the console you'll hear yourself talk in-game so you can see how awful it sounds.

They don't have enough bass in their sound system.
