    In bootcamp, using a Macbook Pro unibody, players were having difficulty hearing me. At first, I thought the mic was near the iSight (similar to my last laptop) but soon realized that it's under the left grill. Do I need an external mic? Are there some settings I missed?

    I tried to test it in the game options and it would go up a tiny bit, so I do know it's picking up my voice.

    Just adjust your mic settings in the game and in windows, I use it and people always said I was loud and clear. Most people I play with on that game never have there mic set properly and you can't hear them worth poop, it's annoying.

    Ok, thanks. I'll keep playing around with the settings.
