I haven't seen anyone else mention this problem, so maybe it's just me. On my machine, the volume controls, say for Effects, are very coarse. There are only 6 different levels. What's worse is that they aren't deterministic; i.e. they don't always do the same thing despite the same setting. Example: say I'm in a tank with the motor running. Setting the Effects volume to zero sometimes sets the engine volume to zero, sometimes to faint. However I set it, except for Max, the sound level isn't always the same for the same setting. Or, if the volume is set to say 1/4, I sometimes don't hear the engine or tracks as I start moving. Then a bit later as I'm still moving, I'll suddenly start hearing the tracks, but still not the engine. Other times, with the same volume setting, I'll hear both. This is with no other sounds, like vox or external tanks/planes, interfering.
(I normally run with the engine and tracks, i.e. the "Effects", at lower volumes so that I can clearly hear them, but not loud enough to damage my hearing with hours and hours of constant loud engine drone.)
Win XP SP3, Realtek HD Audio onboard sound. I've always had this problem with all AH versions using the Miles Sound System.

Run a dxdiag and check the driver revision for your sound card. Also see if you have "use wave in" checked, if so try unchecking it.
This is what I have setup, and I'm not experiencing any real issues:

for some reason i can no longer control anyone elses vox level!
not sure if i could before but i can not now, some people are just to loud :x
i thought i would be able to lower the voice slider but it does nothing now!

WWhiskey - use the other slider, as mentioned in this bug report. The one you are using changes the slider, but doesn't actually change the volume.

Thanks. I don't have "Use Wave In" checked and my Realtek HD Audio driver is 5.10.0000.5864, ver 2.26. I don't think you would notice the problem at your relatively high Effects volume setting: mine is about half way between zero and the V in Volume.
Edit: I updated the driver to 2.48 and it didn't fix the problem. I can work around it somewhat by setting the Windows volume control to max, the Master Volume to Max and turning down the hardware volume control on my headset all the way. This gives a bit more fine control of the Effects slider at the lower end (it's still quantized).
