I would love to know wtf is going on? What could it be? My present headset is a Logitech and its brand new. I believe its something to do with the Realtek sound card in my pc. I will buy me another one next month. If you think you may know what it is please let me know as I am sick of this crap! While I am at it what cheap sound card would you idiots recommend?

Sounds like you are getting the IW3MP.EXE error m8, it is a sound error and there are many possible fixes, which you have already discovered one ie having headset plugged in, most get this error if they have Realtek soundcards, you could try updating your sound drivers and see what happens, if you have just updated your drivers and this problem started just after that then roll drivers back, also you could try to go into your Activision\cod4\miles folder and change the mssmp3.asi file to mssmp3.bak, these possible fixes work for some and not for others, the only thing that works for me if the problem gets really bad is to uninstall Cod4 then update your sound drivers, then reinstall game back to the new drivers, a bit drastic but it always works for me.

I had this same thing just happen to me, while playing Ace Mod...I now have no mic level in game...out of game it works just fine. Also a relitivley new headset...and I DO get iw3 errors...going to be loading COD fresh install on a new PC build hopefully later this week or next and only coping/saving my rank file. Oh, and I run a USB sound card external, Creative X-Fi... Is there anything I should do when reloading COD on a new rig, or should that alone fix the problem? The iw3 problem...
