Hey guys,

I have a working microphone but I can't use it on BF2 or on Project Reality. I cant hear myself when I am doing the mic test. Its really quiet and it only do that on BF2 or Project Reality. With other program like Skype, I don't have this problem. What can I do to solve this problem?

Check in control panel > sounds that the volume for the mic is 100%, for some reason BF2 takes really quiet sampling.

Also another thing to do is to lower effects to around 20-30% so you can hear others.

Another part is the "Boost Mic Gain" option in the audio settings within PR (although I assume you have that selected anyway :P )

And finally, is it an integrated mic, or a headset? Headsets tend to be a lot better for this sort of thing, more volume being closer to your face =]
