| and a few FAQs... |

to answer a few questions:
1) I don't have a computer mic, so this "TeamSpeak" is not for me, right?
A) Not true, friend. A person can connect to teamspeak without having a mic, they just won't be able to talk. While this may seem rather limiting, consider that you would at least be able to hear what your teammates have to say. So you won't miss out on all the information being transmitted over TS. While your ally might only have time to vsay "Incoming" when he sees an enemy and needs to open fire, on TS, he might well be able to speak the words "2 engineers and a medic coming around the CP" in the middle of the firefight. This extra knowledge could come in handy.
2) The sounds from TS prevent me from hearing important sounds in ET.
A) That's not technically a question, but I'll answer it anyway. The best solution for that problem is to increase the volume of ET relative to TS, so that people speaking sound softer than the important footsteps and gunfire in ET. To do this, open ET, go to options, and increase the effects volume. Then lower the volume of your system to compensate, either using your OS's volume control, or the volume knob of your speakers/headphones. This will effectively lower the volume of the TS chatter while keeping the ET sounds the same.
3) I use windows, play the game in full-screen mode, and can't see the teamspeak GUI while playing. How can I access TS features, change channels, or see who is talking / joining while playing?
A) A number of solutions to this exist:
Running ET in a windowed (non fullscreen) mode solves all of these problems in one fell swoop. This is the author's personal recommendation, although it seems many users find running the game in a non fullscreen mode unnerving, so YMMV.
There exists a program called ET minimizer which supposedly can allow windows users to minimize ET and switch to other programs, although some users have noted that this causes system instability at times (more so than normal windows, anyway). The author of this FAQ cannot comment on this usefulness of this program.
For the specific case of changing channels, keybindings can be used, so you can change channels without leaving ET, just use some button (preferably something you aren't likely to press while in ET) to switch to channel axis and switch to channel allies.
For seeing who is talking, or joining, In theory a program called "teamspeak overlay" might be helpful, although again the author has no direct knowledge of this program's usefulness. In most cases you can simply ask, and after a while most TS users can learn to distinguish each other by voice alone.
