Current as in I think they were from November 2011. I have not had this issue again as of yet. But like you said, it comes and goes as well, so only time will really tell. I just did all this last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a usb mic. Only way I know of to solve this issue so it never comes back. The next method prfered by most great games is to play WAW 2_MANY_BEERS and coolmd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Turns out all my machine needed was a restart and it was working fine after that. I leave my mic plugged in permanently as i know with Vista and Win 7, the cod series after 4 likes to crash without one plugged in. been that way for years. hope your problem is sorted out by now.

As it turned out my sound card was too old and the drivers did not support the audio in game very well. It sounds like you've tried all that already though. How old is your sound card?
