Battlefield III PC Microphone

[shentodj]

My son has just started to play Battlefield III on his laptop.
His friends and him are convinced they can't talk on their microphones - is this true?
He has Turtle Beach X12.

Can anyone advise how to set this up, or point me at a website I can show him?
Thanks,
Shentodj

A quick check online reveals that Battlefield 3 doesn't support in-game voice chat, they could however use a public Teamspeak 3 or Ventrilo server, or for around £5 a month they could rent a Teamspeak 3 or Ventrilo server.
