I too have this problem....esp. since the wife likes to fall asleep on the couch....next to me, the 55" plasma, PS3, and surround sound...lately been battling a throat infection so sometimes hurts to talk. I may also not have my mic on sometimes...but as long as we all stick to the plan that was laid out in the Domination post/forum, that's what I follow (1-2 cap A/C, the rest go to B to start, then defend).
