    Ok I got my usb mic/headset so that I can talk. The game sounds come out of the computer speakers like I want them to but so does other peoples voices. How do I get my headset so that I can hear others mics in my headset but have only the game sounds come out of the computer speakers?

    Do you mean in game voice, or a separate voice program like Ventrilo? What operating system are you running?
    AFAIK this is not possible.

    That will not work. The game and voice sounds are overplayed. You can use a mic and speakers, or full headset, but you cannot separate them. I turn down the voice volume and amp up the environmental sounds...helps a bit more than listening to useless chatter in the pubs. Don't forget to join the NBR community on Steam. Good luck.

    BTW: You may want to change "mike" to "mic"

    Edit: A 3rd party app such as Hep!'s reference would work, but I assume you are not using this for pubs.

    pubs?

    and no, this has been a long standing issue with source games. voice and game sound are locked together.
