Before I get into the problem I just want everyone to know that I have indeed read the PR Mumble FAQ over and over again, and tried all of the suggestions.

PROBLEM:
When I speak ingame in PR Mumble, nobody hears me. However, when BF2 is minimized, players can hear me without problem. Also, I can hear other players fine.

Addtional Info:
I'm using my default laptop microphone which has not been a problem with any other speaking software as of now, and no, there is not anything plugged into my microphone jack. VOIP ingame also works well.

If you need any other information, please ask.

if you're using the normal mumble button (i think it's called local or something like that) you can only talk to/hear people who are within like 50 or so meters of you, but there is another button that talks to everyone who is in the SL channel

well thats the problem. I cant talk to anyone 5 or 50m away from me in game. I have a squad leader radio button, but even when i use that to speak, I am not heard.

Did you run it as an administrator? (Assuming you use Vista/7)

yes I do run as administrator

Activate Overlay: Configure -> Settings -> Overlay -> Enable Overlay

Now start mumble before PR. When ingame press the botton and see if your name changes the color to red. This means you are actually transmitting and mumble keys appear set up correctly.

If this doesn't work you should double check your keys or simply try to reset them again.

If your name stays white you should disable exclusive mode on your microphone:
Right Click on Speaker icon next to clock -> Recording devices -> double click "Microphone" -> Advanced -> (Exclusive Mode -> ) untick "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"

I also suggest you do this for your "Speakers".

I do in fact transmit, but nobody seems to hear me. That or I'm playing with a bunch of Ashton Kutchers.
