    • Make sure your settings are configured right, right click on speakers on your task bar, and go to playback devices and make sure your headset is the default device to hear all sounds http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/59/6byd.jpg/
    • Disable drivers for audio devices not in use.
    • 1) In your taskbar, right click the speaker icon and click "PLAYBACK DEVICES".
      2) Under the "PLAYBACK" and "RECORDING" tab make sure to select the device you want to use as DEFAULT (both default device and default communications).
      3) go to http://battlelog.battlefield.com/ and select the correct device. (It will save when you change the options via drop down.)

Thanks, the issue seems to be that even though my headphones were the Default playback device, my speakers had been set as the default Communication device.

    This is correct, just fixed the issue with opening audio control panel in the advanced sound tab, and setting my headset too main communication device. Had this issue for games like modern warfare and battlefield.
