BF2S Forums Logitech Precision Gaming Headset

I have this same problem.

Sorry if I wasn't clear the 1st time...but yes my headset works fine within Windows and when playing BF2 the game sound works via my headset no different than if I was playing using my speakers...

...but it does not work while pressing the "B" talk button or testing it within the "Audio" section of the in-game configuration.  I tried running the seperate utility from within BF2 for configuring the headset/microphone and nothing...voice capture does not work...it doesn't detect my headset.

Now, I did find out via another post here that EA does not support headsets plugged into a front audio port on my PC case and that it will only work plugged into the sound card audio jack port directly, so I will try that along with other solutions as well tonight.

I will also try making sure that Windows Firewall is not blocking my VoIP and to answer someone else's question...yes VoIP is enabled within the in-game settings.

I had endless trouble geting my headset to work. It shouldnt make any difference bit just try things like disconnecting any external speakers and re-starting your computer. Or try playing in the control pannel.
Helped me even though I didn't actually change anything.

VOIP don't work with it I have the same problem no one can hear me or iam talking low so your not the only one with the problem, in my opinion it don't work simple as.

It works for me with the same headset...

if your headset is plugged into your sound card, make sure you are running Hardware or X-Fi in bf2 audio settings
if you are running software make sure you have software selected. 

also make sure that you have the volume on right too.

i dono if u have the same problem as i used to but symptoms are the same.. my onboard soundcard was a pos, i put in a creative xtreme gamer sound card, turned on volume boost to 20db and now it works
most sound cards even onboard do have a boost option though look through the windows settings of ure mic.. it should be a checkbox.. make sure it's checked.. it makes a huge difference

exactly what sarge said, I had the same problem, except when i put it on hardware, everything the commander said would repeat itself all echoey like, it was fucking weird, but i set it to software and it fixed everything.

actually, just so you know, sarge is right about hardware, but if you have an X-fi sound card software runs bf2 to use hardware, which means you get audigy level sound for an X-fi card.  Just as a headsup

Well, last night I decided to not try to fix the headset problem and just use TeamSpeak and it ROCKS!

It took about 5 min. or less to configure and my brother, a friend, and myself got online with it to play and it was flawless...no need to hit a keystroke on the keyboard at all to speak and it works all the time independent of the BF2 game, so we can chat while we're looking at servers to join or in the game itself...totally Awesome!

IMHO...problem is solved  :-)

In your control panel, go to "Sounds and Audio Devices.  Click the "Voice" tab.  make sure the USB Headset is selected as default for "Voice playback" and "Voice Recording".  BF2 will now use your headset for VOIP.
