Hi


Perhaps one of your local network pc is not connected. You should check the Lan settings and review all connections of your local users to play the game.


Hope this will help you.

It means that someone else is useing your activation key code. I tried installing my brothers game on my computer and playing with him but we couldnt play at the same time because of the activation key

You have to go to options->Multiplayer options->key code->

if you bought the disk it should come with a key code if you downloaded try to find a keycode generator

That sounds like an internet problem. It's not necessarily your internet connection that's hindering it, but probably the connection between your computer and the "master server". I'm not sure what to do about it. It happens to me sometimes but it goes away after some time.

I'm sorry I have no idea on how to solve your issue but once I've come up with one, I'm sure to return and answer.

Hope I helped! :P

Does it have to be a headset? Will just a mike work, or vise versa?

jonrambo, on Jul 30, 2009 7:17:26 am BST

You can plug a computer speakers into the mic connection on your computer before you open the COD4 multiplayer and after it is fully loaded unplug and connect them ack to the original computer speaker plug. OR
you could just leave your computer speakers alone and find an old headset used for cdplayers and just keep that plugged into the mic connection. either one if possible. hope that helps. hope this helps, it was a pain in the ass becuz we had no internet for forums like this and it took a day to figure this out. simple fix but friggin hard to find.
hope this helps.

You wont believe this but.. plug in a mic.. ys a microphone.. i has something to do with the sound and audio settings interfering and a mic does a good job of fixing it.. look around the net for some advice so u dont have to plug a mic in all the time but it worked for me and yes i know its almost un believable

angus, on Jul 24, 2009 10:19:27 am BST

Its insane, i searched for hours when i got cod4. and yes this actually does work, some sound cards like Realtek ones. mainly realtek have problems with it. anything with the 2.5mm jack will work not just microphones. but something has to be plugged into it when you start the game.

NIGHTLIFEphantom, on Dec 26, 2008 6:06:44 pm GMT

Here is the fix. Go to my computer / devices then disable your sound card. Then go in COD4, ALT+TAB, then enable your sound card again. Then go to sound settings in COD4 then click through the sound cards until it goes back to the one it was set for... i believe is milesfast 2d audio... then it should be working fine.

NIGHTLIFEphantom, on Dec 26, 2008 6:12:16 pm GMT

I forgot to add.. once you click through the sound cards and click on the one you had before.. you must hit apply. Good luck.

Don't know why my last message got deleted? It was perfectly reasonable and was the answer to this problem. Well if this help, and isn't deleted! You need to go to hardware and sound. After this go into sound. There will be 3 tabs within this window. Go to the recording tab. In here you should see something called stereo mix. This needs to be enable or disabled depending on what it is already set to. I hope this helps. It worked for me and my friends.

I am running vista home preminium and a intel quad core cpu with nividia 9600gt graphcs card why is this not working.

Hey man try it over and over again... about 10 times. I'm not joking, on fresh installs it takes a few tries to register it with punkbuster and Activision. Have you updated punkbuster yet? If not google it and click on the evenbalance site. If you can see the list of servers in MP, then keep trying the key code. Also be sure you have patch 1.6 and 1.7, if you have the newest edition of cod4 (game of the year edition) then you already have 1.6 and will need 1.7. Gamershell.com will have the patches you may need. Sorry to be obvious on some of the answers but I dont know how much you have tried already. Let me know if you can't get it running and we'll go from there. AAAnnndddd when you get it fixed, go to =DiG= servers, doorman is god, hardcore server!!! you'll have a riot of a time!
