Why not?

Also, when I try to do the regular Live mode in "Playtime" it says that my profile isn't allowed to play. Why not?

could be 1 of two things, either A your headset is busted or B it's not plugged in properly, I've had the same problem, try unplugging it from the controller and plugging it back in with a little pressure. After a few tries if it doesn't work, and doesn't work with any other game etc. then I suggest a new headset, if it's just PGR3 it could be your volume settings. Good luck.

Ok, I tested the mic by sending a message to someone that I wanted them to accept me as a friend. I played it back to myself and I heard my recording clearly. This means that its not my mic or my controller.

As for the not being able to play a regular Live game, it turns out that thats blocked by default in the "Family Settings." I changed it and now I can play.

However, I still can't hear anyone while I play online. I have it set to transmitt auido through my speakers and my headset. I still can't hear anyone.

I set the Opponent Balance from 0 up to 5 but nothing happened except that my music grew less loud.

First, if you arnt allowed you might want to check your parental guidlines. Sometimes it wont let you talk. Also i have the same problem on COD2 sometimes.

Thanks man. That was the problem. The parental settings were set to make me an XBOX Live Antisocial (That means that I couldn't talk to anyone).

i had the same proplem on halo2, till i found out it wasn't turned switch, the switch

Have you turned up the volume

LOL. No it wasn't that. If you read my previous post the problem is solved.

Yea those parental controls ae really gay....

I think the XBOX Team knows that it doesn't matter if a teen or preteen hears a few cusses on XBOX Live. I believe the default parental limitations are legal safeguards.

right
