    wrong cd-key? ( crashes multiplayer mode of the game sometimes ) or maybe it's something with you DirectX? have you installed the NEWEST DirectX after the format?

    Might want to try a different set of drivers for the GPU as well.

    Just try uninstalling and reinstalling again first. Make sure you download the latest patch for the game too.

    Try plugging headsets into your mic jack. Had a weird issue like this with COD4. Sound driver issues that I couldn't fix. For some reason this worked (although you lose the ability to use headsets for sound).
