Headset and mic problem

[Barndog]

I just bought a headset and mic to be able to enjoy cod 5 to the fullest, but i cant hear anyone speaking and im sure they cant hear me, i have enabled voice chat within the game, i must be missing something also, can anyone point me in the right direction....thanks

I don't have COD5 but is there a set up channel to test the headset?

Are you hearing all other in-game sounds? 

Is it a USB headset, or is it connected to your soundcard?

I dont use the in-game chat, though I do use Teamspeak successfully with the clan.

I say this as one of our members is having problems with his headset and mic on W@W.  He is using a USB connected set
