BF2 - VOIP With SoundMax Sound Card Fix!

Battlefield 2
The past few nights i’ve been struggling trying to get my VOIP working in the newly released Battlefield 2. Every time I would go into Options | Audio and enable the VOIP checkbox and click apply then go back to the Audio options it would be disabled. After hours of researching I finally have a remedy:

It’s apparently linked to the SoundMax sound cards which are commonly distributed with newer Dell PC’s.

1.) Update your SoundMax drivers to the latest release
2.) Run dxdiag.exe (Start | Run | dxdiag) and go into the Audio options and lower the hardware acceleration slider to “Basic”
3.) Load Battlefield 2 back up and enable VOIP (Options | Audio) and confirm it stays enabled
