Have you enabled stereo mix? I remember an issue with COD4 on Win 7

Easy method: Plug something in your mic jack

Other method: Right click the Sound icon in the task bar, open "recording devices", right click and click "show disabled devices". Now enable stereo mix

hope that helps!

have done all of that none has worked
