"Windows 7" Microphone setup : Right click on volume icon next to clock > recording devices > Microphone(right click on microphone & "set as default device"also"set as default communication device") > Properties > custom > put a tick in the box Microphone +20db Boost > Levels > put microphone slider to 40%(if your voice is still low in BF2 comms,put slider to 50% etc,etc) > advanced > 2 channel,24 bit,48000Hz(studio quality) > click OK > click OK.

K. Stunt. I have everything working so far. I un-installed Skype and re-installed it. I am now signing out of Skype before starting BF2. Seems to be working better now. Skype released version 5.0 around Dec 14th about the same time my problems started. I have my headset microphone as the default mic and it is working as advertised. Thank you to all that helped me!!!
