Two PCs in one room, each with a headset and a cable to the same router, on one subnet. One microphone sits between them, plugged into the host PC. The internet sits outside the room, struck through.
The one microphone plays in both headsets: the host PC's own and the joining PC's.

On both PCs, while linked

Read the delay on the joining PC

Step 17 of 21. Each step is one action.

On the joining PC, read the numbers beside the HEADSET meter.

What you should see

  • "ms mic to headset": the time from the host PC's microphone to this headset, in thousandths of a second. About 35 to 50 is normal on a wired network.
  • "frames held": how much sound this PC keeps in hand to smooth out gaps in the network. It stays low and steady on a wired network.

The reading stops where the sound reaches the headset's driver, so a wireless headset's own delay is not in it. Volume is each PC's own Windows volume; CO-OP Comms has no volume control of its own.
