VOIP and headsets

[beaky65]

OK - I am trying to get VOIP to work. I have a Logitech headset and it works fine when I test it in the control panel on my Dell Dimension 8300. Then I go into game and try and test it in the audio options - enable mic boost etc. Nothing. I really thought patch 1.4 might solve this but no luck. Any ideas?

Im kinda in the same boat! I bought a new gainward 5.1 headset today along with my 7950GT
My mic has not been working for so long, i dont know if this is working lol
I tried talking tonight, but i was on a german server lol
Guess i need to fire up teamspeak again and see for sure. But i get ya, i spoke up and not a peep answered :|:

Re: VOIP and headsets

Re: VOIP and headsets

i used to have this problem with my logitech USB headset, if you are talking and click on the test button your voice will br transmitted but this doesnt fix it. i think i ran the VOIP setup a couple of times and it finally started working properly

there is the system I'm running on...

I have BF2 SF,AF,EF booster packs installed and 1.4 patch installed..

while playing I was able to use my Logitec headset for one map... then on the next it just stopped. thats it... end of story..

windows see the microphone just fine. (Hell it even hurts my ears a bit when I talk into it)

but BF2 Refuses to play ball. the worst part about it is It worked in 1 map then didnt for the rest of the night.


now I also noticed that in the Options/audio section my MIC Booster/gain is not highlighted, any ideas cause I'm @ a loss @ this point..:evil:

Re: VOIP and headsets

i'm lost too! tried the suggestions and they dont work for me. Does anyone have an idiots guide to how to get VOIP to work in BF2 as this is clearly not an issue with the headset.

Anyone got any ideas? I her so few games with VOIP going that it must be a big issue for a lot of people. I know if I had this working I would use it all the time. Any other suggestions from anyone?

Re: VOIP and headsets

Same boat here. Logitec USB 350. Works fine in winows but bupkis in BF2. I'm fighting with EA at the moment and was hoping you folks would have it figured out before them. If EA figures it out and it works i'll be sure to pass along the info.

Re: VOIP and headsets

I had issues at one time (as did about three others in my clan). I accidentally did this, forwarded it to them and then all of us were running fine.

Go into game voice control area.
Turn off the VOIP. Hit apply.
Turn on the VOIP. Hit apply.

Suddenly, test and game worked fine. I hope this works for you guys.

Re: VOIP and headsets

got rid of my logitech headset and got myself a bluetooth set-up works great

Re: VOIP and headsets

Simon, unfortunately no such luck for me.

Munk, is your bluetooth setup USB? If it is there has to be something in the setup that we're missing. Thanks in advance.

Re: VOIP and headsets

yeah, there is a trick to fixing these problems.... Its in the volume control and recording control just forgot the steps I used to take.....

[Munk_Madness]

Re: VOIP and headsets

yeah bluetooth is USB, cost a bit of money to set up but i think its worth it if your serious about VOIP

Re: VOIP and headsets

EA is ignoring me now, my mic still dont work, their tech support is crap, and i'm gonna have to buy an analog headset now, which I should have done in the 1st place. BUT, I will keep bugging EA about this problem since I spent $50 on the USB HS.
