  • Cannot get mic to work, need help!

    I have tried and tried to get my mic to work on the game. I do the mic test inside the audio tab on BF2 and the threshold only has a little bit of green, then I accept, but no one can ever hear me in the game. But when I'm doing my mic test, I can hear myself. I have no clue what the problem is. My mic is not muted in windows, so I don't think that is the problem. I just have no clue what is going on. Is the threshold supposed to be ALL green when doing the mic test in BF2? Help please!

      Did you enable Mic Boost?

        Yeah, I enabled mic boost, and I can hear myself during the test, but not during the game!! And no one can hear me either during the game!

          Is it a USB headset or a mic, does it work outside BF2 like on the sound recorder?

              You've probably already tried this in desperation mate, but turn all the other sounds down until you can only just hear them and make sure that VOIP is at 100%. I have music turned off, and other sounds at about 20% with VOIP at 100%.

                BF2 does it.

                1. Alt-Tab and open up your volume controls.

                2. Click on Options/Properties, select Playback and select Microphone, then OK.

                3. You will see the microphone volume muted.

                4. Unmute it and Alt-Tab back to BF2.

                I hope they fix this in 1.3...

                  I don't know if this will help but I had my speaker configuration in control panel set to 6speakers but when you change it to headphones my mic works.

                    Yah thats the same thing that happens to me, every time i open up bf2 it auto mutes my mic, so while i load a game i minimize and unmute, and then its fine. Its realy annoying becaise bf2 takes SOO long to minimize and maximize, they realy need to fix the mute problem.

                        I used to have the same problem.
                        I found out that it was my onboard sound that was the problem. It was the Realtek one. I just plugged in my old Creative SB Live 5.1 sound card and now the problem is gone.

                          This worked for me with realtek drivers on an xp64 system having on board surround sound. The problem was kicking my butt for the longest time. Thanks - it helped me out.
