to whitlow, did disable your pc-soundcard if your senheiser comes up with a autarc soundcard?

That's a good suggestion but my headset doesn't come with it's own sound card. (Pretty sure that only the USB models do - mine is the little 5mm jack type) In the sound options I've set it to Creative X-Fi (A box that becomes visible above Hardware if you have a X-Fi) with all that EAX stuff on, also I've got the latest sound drivers.

Thanks for the info anyway

I have this game running in XP at home and i get the VIOP halt after perhaps a round or two, and my solution there is to just alt+tab out and unmute the mic from sound settings, it sort of does that automatically after some time, dont ask alot of people get this. But i also run this here at school on my laptop on VISTA and apparently i get almost same problem.... it seems i have to restart BF2 all over again, not just leave game and rejoin. Sound settings dont seem to mute the mic and my mic doesnt mute itself either... Apparently my mic is crap on my laptop, starts crackling and doesnt have the mic boost setting in bf2 menu either, so my laptop problem could be diff than yours. But since you said that u run XP i suggest alt+tabbing out and going to ur sound settings and unmuting it. If the green icon doesnt show up when u press talk button then thats the reason (it got muted).

Try X-Fi new beta drivers found at Creatives driver download section. Worked for me.

I have built-in AC'97, before starting bf, i`m entering dxdiag (start->run->dxdiag), and lowering my hardware acceleration to basic, and VOIP works fine all the time.

I had that same problem just a few days ago again and I tried what you suggested me to do. I unmuted my mic (It actually was on mute) but after that VoIP still did not work. I had to restart PR.

The next time I played I checked in the first round if the mic was muted. And indeed it was but the weird thing is that it was on mute and it worked fine up to the point I checked and even after.

I was forced to buy a new router due to a new internet connection but that did not change anything.
My headset is actually pretty good so I do not want to spend money on a new one.
I still hope that there is a different solution.

My sound is from NVIDIA so the driver from creatives will be no good for me.




Thanks for the suggestions guys,

but I´m still looking for a soultion

same problem here too, with two different computers.

solution: alt+tab out of game, and enable microphon in windows audio settings again

Was it set to mute?

i think the problem only occurs with people who have soundblaster cards. all microphone setting including teamspeak and voip will stop working. the only solution is to close down bf2, then your microphone will work again
