So everyone who played dead island knows how annoying the voice problem is (Not being able to switch off voice chat/use Push to talk) In fact i got so annoyed that i found how to fix it!

You will need: Any sound cable

First go to your Control Panel
In control panel click on Hardware and Sound and click on the category 'Sound'
A window will pop up, click on the 'recording' tab (at the top)
Now plug the sound cable into the (light blue) sound port, this should make 'Line In' active.
Right click on Line In and select 'Set as default Device' aswell as 'Set as default communication device'
This will disable voice chat in dead island.
Now go to whatever other VOIP program you want to use and go to its settings.

(This part is for Team speak 3 but most VOIP programs should be the same)

Go to your 'Settings' tab and click options, then at the left go down to 'Capture'
In the window there is a option for 'Capture device' Change it to Microphone and it should work again!

(PS: i will tidy this thread up when i have the time :)
