Battlefield 2 - Sound-Volume Problem

When i've started the normal BF2, my settings for music-volume are set very low.
When i choose a BF2:SF map from the server browser, the game quits and then restart with the SF enabled and automaticly connect to the choosen server.

During the loading the music volume is set to high. Only if the loading is ready the music-volume is back at my settings.

EA Support told me to change the settings for my sound-hardware-acceleration (DXdiag.exe), but this wasn't a solution. Same problem with each setting in DXdiag.

Anyone else here with the same problem, and perhaps a real solution ???

I cant Resist...


Talk to Developer for help.... (joes line :P) lol


j/k




If you have a hardware card in a PCI slot GLH make sure the onboard is disabled.

If only one or the other is used, be it hardware or software (onboard), remove the driver for it (uninstall), then reinstall an older driver to the current driver your using.

Other than that, that is weird..


Unless you have software like a DVD player that is still running and has a Volume boost enabled for watching movies? I know PowerDVD has that option.

I've already asked the EA Support. They told me to turn on/off the hardware-acceleration for sound with the DXdiag.exe.
But that wasn't the solution.

I don't have a PCI-Card-Sound. I use just my onboard sound.
All my Clan mates also have this problem. And we all don't have PCI-Card-Sound, only onboard, but all different mainboards.

I think it's an error in the game. When it restart and instantly connect the server the game don't recognize the settings.

It's sad that the support tries to riddle what the problem is, instead of simply reconstruct the situation and look if the error also appear.

Oh god, GLH, an onboard sound card; how do you expect quality output from such a thing...? Get, at least, a SB Live! or Audigy instead.

The new v1.21 update patch will be released by EA tomorrow morning.
But if you really cant wait til the morning then be my guest and download the v1.2-1.21 Incremental Patch from [Link Removed].

EDIT: I removed my link for the v1.21 patch as it is now available from EA's site. You can find them at the links below.

1.21 fixes virtually nothing... It still claims to fix the broken browser wich the previous was supposed to fix because the patch before that said it would fix it but made it even worse because the only release of BF2 with a working browser was the demo...

However 1.21 fixes almost none of the 48 new bugs introduced with the 1.2 patch that fixed almost nothing that the patch before that 'unfixed'.

Errr back on subject... Why not start BF2:SF directly and have it enabled directly... Or does the thing with the sound happens when you do that too?
