mic capture device (slightly offtopic)

[rob larkin]

This isn't strictly on topic but I think there's a chance someone here 
has solved this problem.

My clan uses TS2 for matches.  My problem is that in order for my 
friends to hear my I have to turn the volume on the the mic almost all 
the way up.  The mic is open all the time so whether I'm talking or not 
I hear the background noise and it's pretty distracting.  Is there a way 
to keep it quiet, so that the mic isn't open unless I'm alctually 
talking?  I think that ut2004 does this because w/o teamspeak the 
capture device seems to only be activated when I press the activate key 
(v for me).

Also, does anyone have TS *and* the built-in voice working at the same time?

Thx,

Rob
