    I moved your post to the BF4 area. As for a fix try this..



    C:\Users\your PC Name\Documents\Battlefield 4

    BF4 folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BF4 is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BF4 it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.

    1- Go to my Documents and remove BF4 folder place it on your Desktop or trash.
    2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.
    3-Repair BF4
    4- When done go test your game. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BF4.

    Did you install /check for a driver for the headset? I am thinking you need to set up the headset in windows sound. Once you do this then go ingame and set sound to war taps cant recall what it is in cfg this sec....as it gives best sound. Keep me posted and I will help you more if need be as this can be fixed we just need to find the correct fix for your PC.

    If your headset has the driver installed on your PC try uninstalling it via Device Manager.

    Press Win+R

    Type devmgmt.msc hit enter

    Your device will be under 'Audio inputs and outputs'

    Select your device and right click it then press uninstall

    Restart your PC

    Plug the input device back in and the driver should install.

    I do not recommend doing killerwhalsam steps as it will give you a generic driver and to fully fix this it is best to get the most up to date driver for your headset off the makers website for the headset.

    But it could be a compatibility error with the Driver and BF4.

    Try Zorlaacs steps first as I intended and if they fail to work maybe there is a compatibility issue there and therefore use the generic driver.

    Ok I have tried to find a driver but it looks like there is no drivers? And I litterally can't find the device in device manager I mean it's works, I think it's like a plug and play sort of thing, I have tried it in other games and it works perfectly it just as soon as I plugged this Mic in and tried to play Bf the sound went all weird been playing for a couple months with just speakers and they were fine

    Who makes the headphones ? So have you tried this yet? In task bar by clock ... right mouse click speaker and pick volume control options, then look for your headset and check it off, from this go back to speaker by clock again only this time pick sounds and make sure headphones are default device and right mouse click on it and configure speakers. Then go to recording tab and make sure the microphone for your head set is checked off. See if this helps. Other then this make sure your sound card drivers are up to date.

    Ok just to clarify my headset doesn't have a usb it's just an aux cable and the other one for my mic (can't remember the name) and when I plug it in the pc thinks its speakers so it labels my headset as that.
    my sound card is up to date and my headset is sades sa-708
    I don't think it has much to do with my speakers or headset it's more on the game side

    Ahh ok so its two separate pices. Just to rule it out I would uninstall your motherboard sound card driver then reboot pc then install it again. When done reboot pc and test BF4
