Vista VOIP Settings Won't Save!

[iseeuat100yds]

When i check the VOIP box in PR or BF2, and click "Apply", then "Back" it does not save the change. When i return to the Audio settings, the box will be unchecked . I've read somewhere that editing the "Audio.Con" helps, but frankly, i don't know what I'm supposed to do with it.
PC Specs:
OS-Vista (as displayed on the title of thread)
Graphics-Nvidia 8600
Processor-AMD Phenom x4 64
RAM- 6gb
Monitor-Acer X191W
Network setup- all I know is that it is broadband

Here's a picture of the Audio.CON


Please help me out! I'm tired of getting kicked out of games and squads because i cannot hear my SL!

Not able to use VoIP?
Did you try pressing tab, right click to activate mouse and click manage, then mute and unmute yourself? That seems to work most of the time.

Make sure you have 'mike boost' checked in your windows audio setup.

1. Yes I have checked the stickies, no help.

2. I have scoured the internet/forums of all kind for a solution, nothing that works, hence the thread.

3. PC Specs:
OS-Vista
Graphics-Nvidia 8600
Processor-AMD Phenom x4 64
RAM- 6gb
Monitor-Acer X191W
Network setup- all I know is that it is broadband

4. There was no brief history before the problem, its always existed

5. the Mute/Unmute solution cannot apply to this problem because VOIP will not even enable :/

bumpy...

Make sure you have 'mike boost' checked in your Vista audio setup. Then in-game you should be able to run the voip setup.

[iseeuat100yds]

and how do i do that? I cant find the box

[thepalerider]

The path to 'mike boost' in Vista is:
Settings/
Control panel/
Sounds/
recording(tab)
Click on Microphone
Click on the 'Properties' button on the lower right
Click on the 'Custom' tab upper left
Check 'mike boost' box

In the 'Advanced' tab under 'Exclusive Mode'
I have both
'Allow application to take exclusive control of this devise'
'Give exclusive mode applications priority'
checked

Once mike boost is 'on' in Windows
Start up game and you should now be able to enable 'mike boost' here as well.
Run the setup for mike 'threshold'.
Note:The louder your background noise
the higher you want the threshold #
I suggest you set 'Effects' volume to 20 -35% so you can still hear squad talk over the tank/truck/chopper noise.

Hope it helps

are you running as an administrator or with user account control on??

UAC tends to make files and folders read only limiting changes of settings.
