When you installed BF2 did you install the voip option? Are you plugged into a soundcard, or onboard? Have you used it outside of bf2 to make sure that it isn't globally fubar?

You need to have full-duplex sound (card or onboard). This means you can input (mic) and output (headphones/speakers) sound at the same time. A way to see if you have full-duplex sound is to play a MP3 track and at the same time record your voice through Windows Sound Recorder (Accessories > Entertainment) via the mic. If Sound Recorder doesn't playback anything it recorded you may not have full-duplex sound.

Also check you have the cables plugged in correctly and the in-game settings to allow for VOIP. Plus make sure you mic input settings in your audio drivers are set to high and check your Control Panel > Sound and Audio Devices settings (under Volume > Advanced) that your Line In and Mono In isn't set to Mute.
