- Make sure you download and install the latest Battlelog plugins.
1: First uninstall the old Battlelog plugin by going to "Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features" and removing "battlelog web plugin".
2: Then log-in using Origin and go to battlelog page where you'll be prompted to download the latest web plugin (once you try to join a multiplayer server using the multiplayer server browser).
3: After you have installed this Plugin you should clear your cache, exit your browser.
4: Then, restart your browser and re-login to Origin to ensure a proper install.
5: If this doesn't work then you should try a different browser (Chrome/Maxthon/Firefox, etc)
-Do a repair install of the game in Origin. In origin right click your game and from drop down choose repair install.
- If you have a Realtek soundcard try disabling it in the BIOS.
