SgtGamble51 · Post by **SgtGamble51** » 2010-07-12 14:54

Downloaded PR the other day and through the second match i noticed i dont hear a single person talking.. check my audio settings and the voip section is all turned off at 0%. I put raise them and check the enable box and clicl apply showing it saves. Play the next match and i still cant hear anyone. I check the settings and once again they are all at 0. the settings wont stay...any help?

I know this goes in support but i have gotten no help. The voip settings in audio are currently at 0% and not checked for enabled...yes i know raise them and check the enable box and click apply to save settings...problem is it doesnt stay that way and i cant hear anyone talk in game. i tried adjusting the settings in the regular bf2 but it does the same thing...whats going on?

Do you click "APPLY" on the left side after you change the settings?

Change the audio to either "software" or "hardware" in the game menu.
Might need to exit the game and check the Windows settings for the "playback" and "recording devices". I had to set everything to 16bit/48khz (from 16/44khz default).

yea and it says settings saved but when i back out and go back to audio everything is reset. Someone told me to change bf2 settings first and i tried but it does the same thing. And someone else told me to unclick read only file but still nothing...i have no clue whats going on. And i really wanna play and talk with people.

Have you already tried to manually change the lines in "myDocuments(or whatever it's called in english)\Battlefield2\profile\0001\audio.con" ?

You can edit it with notepad, I already used that for the video.con.

AudioSettings.setVoipEnabled 1
AudioSettings.setVoipPlaybackVolume 1
AudioSettings.setVoipCaptureVolume 1
AudioSettings.setVoipCaptureThreshold 0.1
AudioSettings.setVoipBoostEnabled 1
AudioSettings.setVoipUsePushToTalk 1
AudioSettings.setProvider "software"
AudioSettings.setSoundQuality "High"
AudioSettings.setEffectsVolume 0.497194
AudioSettings.setMusicVolume 0.33
AudioSettings.setHelpVoiceVolume 1
AudioSettings.setEnglishOnlyVoices 0
AudioSettings.setEnableEAX 1

First six lines are what the values have to be for VOIP to works (at least it works for me), try to copy/paste in your own file.

as a thought are you running PR in administrator mode, this allows it to edit the config files of the game (newer versions of windows throws a hissy fit if you don't ask it's permission to do somthing)

make sure you have your mic setup correctly. ie. like choosing it in windows audio settings or so

GO TO: configuration screen, Audio controls(sonemthing like this) and put all your settings (volume, speech etc) either low,medium or basic. It worked for me. Or try to find simulair settings in windows. (advanced settings)
It doesnt have anything to do with BF2 but there is something wrong with your audio settings. I had the same, i checked went ingame, and still i couldnt hear a thing.
I checked everything on basic or medium and all problems flew away.

If you have a realtek audio system go to start > run, type in dxdiag. then go to the sound tab and there should be an option about audio acceleration. change that to basic and it should work.

Yes that might be the solution

. Sorry it been a while since its fixed on my side.
Anyway im sure it works.
