    You need to find your *.cfg file and make sure it's writeable, and the game can find it
    when you load up.
    try this:
    Load up cod 2, press~ to bring down console, type seta name "merobone" hit enter
    you'll get some generic response from the console.
    CLOSE Cod 2
    Re open Cod 2 and Join a server, look in scoreboard (tab) and see if your name is merbone, if it is
    then your cfg is writeable, and the issue is probably a PB issue.

    Let me know what happens.

    Got another one for you guys, I just bought a kick ass pair of headphones and the connection is (2) jacks,one mic and one earphones, my last set was USB, my problem now is that i had to disconnect the regular speaker jack to hook up the earphones, My question is if I plug the speakers in the front of my puter will i get the same quality that i get from my super dooper audio card plugs in the back?

    BTW my card is a Extreme Music sound blaster X-Fi

    No,
    You most likely will not get the Kikin-ass quality, but you will get the same quality you did from your USB headset. Also your front audio ports are probably disabled because the on-board audio is disabled.
    You need to boot to your bios and enable the On-board audio, then tell your games to only use the On-Board (Probably Realtek, C-Media, or SoundMax).

    Hope this helps.

    I was able to follow you until the "tell your games" does that mean that when im gaming it will sound only from the speakers or the sound card/ Headphones? And can you explain a bit on how do i tell the games to do that? TY
