VOIP Problems

[Vision_16]

On another previous computer that I ran BF2 on, my VOIP worked, but I believe it was on XP. When I got my new computer, an Alienware with Vista, my VOIP doesn't work. I can hear my teammates talk, but when I press "B" and the microphone does show up in the right to show I'm capturing, they can't hear me. I'm using a Logitech USB headset and my microphone works in Ventrilo and Mumble. When I try and run BF2 Voice Setup, no matter what I do, the bar doesn't move, like it can't hear my mic. Help!

Go into Vistas audio setup and make sure 'mike boost' it checked (on)
fix it for me (Vista 64)

What do you mean by Audio Setup?

[Vision_16]

Does anyone else know how to fix this?

[MAINERROR]

Well the audio setup found in the Vista Control Panel it's called "Sound".

Ok, I went to sound and put my microphone to 100% and it's not muted...but it still doesn't work.

Is Mic boost on, go to your microphone and select properties.

[Vision_16]

There's no option for "Mic Boost" on properties. I have a Logitech USB Headset, I don't know if that makes a difference.

[Robbi]

ah, USB headsets can be problematic. Id go and see if Logitech have any software for it

[thepalerider]

I use a USB headset with Vista.
Look in your recording tab
click on microphone then click lower right 'properties' button
Click on the 'custom' tab
You should see mike boost check box now
check it, hit apply then close out.
Start game and setup audio.
Good luck
