My brother and I both have played BF2 and PR with no issues(v.85 and earlier) until the new "Patch"... v.86. Before he was able to hear voip in game and submit his voice perfectly fine.

As of the new patch... We go into the options in PR... then into audio settings... then to the allow VOIP "button" which is selectable, BUT when we click, and then apply... Leave the options... Then go back into the audio options again.... ITS UNCHECKED!?!

Nothing has changed, I have gone into the bf2 folder and ran all the VOIP programs to see if VISTA is blocking anything and nothing... i made 100% sure that VISTA is allowing all instances.

so by my understanding is that the patch has something that doesn't agree with my brothers computer's option to so save the idea of enabling VOIP... but its a dell, no major card improvements... just standard onboard sound that everyone gets from dell, which has worked many many times before and has nothing to do with the sound card...


Anyone else with this Flakey VOIP button that wants to reset back to no VOIP button issue????


the picture below is just a visual reference. left picture voip on... right picture voip off after leaving audiop after saving and then coming back to audio settings.

Try this trick.

Go to your sound settings and find the "advanced" option. From there, you will see a slide that says "accelerator". Go ahead and change it to basic. That always fixed it for me.

Your talking about XP... i think right? This is a VISTA issue... explain more if you could if it is VISTA

Still no answer anybody?

What sound card do you have?

Check Vista sound setup and make sure 'mike boost' is checked (on)

I have this same problem and i have Realtek Hd Audio, and Salisbury has a Soundblaster 7.1

ok... I have found the fix.. i feel like a dummy... BUT... its due to the fact i'm not a vista user and i will never be.



FIX is plug in the mic to back port and in the sound options make sure its enabled.. then... and ONLY then does bf2 let you use VOIP... if you have no mic plugged in... you have abosolutely no VOIP.... can't even hear your team talking in VOIP... FIXED.

Ty man u saved me so much heartbreak lol
