hey guys I'm new to bf and before you tell me to search anything let me tell you I'm really stupid when it comes to computers and i couldn't find any threads that helped me cause I'm to stupid to word my search the right way...anyway i played bf2 for the first time, actually any PC game, for the first time today like two minutes ago, i played single player which was online for some reason, i have no idea how to explain it...anyway i wan tot know how to get my sound to come out of my speakers....as soon as i plug my headset in all the volume comes through the headset..i was wondering if it was possible to have the game sounds and so forth come out of the speakers an d talking and so forth to come out of my headset...any help would be appreciated...
that is in your PC at me it is not when i plug in a head set, maybe your config screen
Start the game up and THEN plug in ur headset works on mine but yours may be different, is it usb?
yup, i use to use it for socom 3 on ps2...coke wrote:

another question though its a bit off topic, is it common for someone to go to bf2 have to watch that stupid long trailer...get to the screen where it asks what you want to do( go online, singleplayer), and crash to the desktop...
the short answer is no.
there is not a separate output for the game sound and voip. They are both on the same channel. I have used the headset for just the mic and listened to my main speakers. But I cannot see ANY way to get it to do what you are wanting it to do.
Edit...
Just had a thought. I am not familiar with Ventrillo (spelling?) that much. Does anyone know if it can in any way support a separate USB headset away from the game sounds? This may be a way to go.

edit:
about the sound: not possable, the sound comes out of bf2 in 2 steams, 1 of sounds like the heartbeat when a nade explodes next to you, and when you win or lose the round, the voip is also on that, and the walk, shoot reload ect sounds, other steam..... (not wave)
you can however put the sound on the boxes, and record with the mic, if you give details on what headset you got...

its not normal, download the full 1.3 patch, install it, if you still have problems get the latest drivers for your motherboard, videocard, soundcard? ect
I dont want to make a thousand threads and thats why im basically asking a lot of questions in here and I am sorry if im getting on your nerves..anyway how can you tell how many fps your running on or whatever..like i said im not a computer guy and i just figured out what fps meant like two minutes ago though i knew of the concept for some time now.....(more fps = good)...lol
umm forget that, i have a brand new problem...wow i hate this
anyway, i just downloaded the 1.3 patch and now when i click on bf2 it comes up black screen comes and then back to desktop, this takes a total of like 3 seconds....i was playing bf2 singleplayer earlier today and everything was working fine...can anyone help me....also i dont know if you need to know this but i have a GeForce 7600 GT vid card.......please help, PLEASE!

did you install the FULL 1.3 or the INCREMENTAL? you might need to uninstall bf2, and reinstall it, and trow the full patch over it......
you can see your FPS with a program called fraps (www.fraps.com), or you can type in the console in bf2 (open it by pressing ~ (next to 1, above tab, under esc or default keyboard)), type : renderer.drawfps 1
, on the top left it now shows the FPS. if you want to turn it off, replace the 1 by a 0.
You can use these http://www.radioshack.com/product/index … age=search to plug into your outputs..This way you can plug headset and speakers into to same output. I think this is what you are looking for.GaKHaL wrote:

Nope, that will just send all of the sounds to both, he wants to send the VOIP to his headset and the other game sounds to the speakers. I don't think this can be done.
Ight i got past all the problems....and finally got the map to load hit join game and it all crashed...wtf is up with that..?

It can be done I use my PS2 headset from SOCOM and if I start the game up then plug in the headset the game sounds come through my speakers and any voip (in game and stuff like teamspeak) come through the headset earpiece...PASSUBY wrote:
