How to Play Music on TeamSpeak 2
When getting ready for a raid or just hanging out with your gaming buddies, sometimes it's fun to have a playlist to provide background music. If your guild uses TeamSpeak 2, the easiest way to get a song to play within the channel is to configure your TeamSpeak client to transmit your computer sounds, rather than the sounds being fed into your microphone. The one drawback to this method is that while the music is playing, you will not be able to speak into your mic. If you have a spare computer, set up a separate installation of TeamSpeak solely for playing music. This will enable you to talk normally on your regular TeamSpeak installation while still listening to your playlist.
