Static while some sounds are played

The place to ask for technical help with running the demo or the full game...

Static while some sounds are played

Hi

Question, i get some static noise during game play, usually when NPC is broadcasting during a fight. it's annoying.

SBLive! latest drivers (from Creative, not MS)
4 speakers and sub from midiland el-cheapo 8)
I havn't had this problem with any other app using sound on my system.

In preperation of the demo i've moved the Fraunhofer codec to #1 position from #10 where it was earlier, gonna try moving it back to see what happens.

I haven't had nimo installed, have MEdia Player 9 installed and some DivX codecs

Any ideas?


I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.

I know that the PR/Beta had issues with sound, it stated that in the papers that came with the game.

I have this version & I have static from time to time..

What version do you have??

Demo version

Oh, and moving the codec back to the 10 slot havn't changed it, i think.

I get the same problem, sounds starts off just fine, then massive static, usually drowning out what other pilots are saying. Very annoying. Any help or hints would be appreciated.

I had the same problem too. I turned off 3D sound and turned the sound card accel down to "basic". The sound problem went away.

No 3D, but better than that static.

EB, that has nothing to do with the trouble i had (although i did try, in desperation). See the thread i started. I solved the problem with a specific driver from Creative. works great now.
