Horrible hissing sound doesn't stop

[Cyrille V 0]

Hello,

Here is a problem that I could not find using search, or looking at many FAQs:

To get rid of many sound problems in OFP and Resistance, I changed my crappy SB Live value by buying a Hercules Fortissimo II. Some of my previous problems disappeared (no more horrible crackling sounds during helo missions) but I got some new ones.

The most painful one happens after playing OFP/Resistance for a while. The ingame sounds disappear and are replaced by a horrible loud hissing sound that drills through my ears and forces me to take my headphones off. The only solution I've found to make that shrill noise vanish is to shut my computer down, after ending the game and going back to windows.

I also have a few other sound problems, but less serious. For instance, some of my orders ("three go to house") are transformed in a strange incomprehensible squeak that could have been made by a sick Donald Duck!

But the problem I really want to solve is the hissing sound.

I tried to switch hardware acceleration off in the game, but it doesn't change anything...

I really hope someone can help me...

I have no idea what drivers you are using with your sound card, but if you are using the ones that came with the card, you may want to download a newer version from 3DSoundSurge to see if they fix your problems.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mr Fragg, but unfortunately I already downloaded the latest drivers for my card...

Aiken, do you also have to shut down your computer to get rid of the hissing sound?

Very strange, we don't have the same soundcard nor the same kind of motherboard....

...It must be a combination of Windows XP and Resistance, then...

Hissing sound? Is that the sound that u hear on pop-concerts, when they are adjusting the speakers/microphones?

If so, I had that same terrible sound with the SB5.1 in Ghost Recon, under Windows ME.terrible sound, and it only was in indoor envriroments in the game, and it really hurts your ears.I never got it solved though...

I'm going to have to say its prolly BIS 's problem... I get the same problem.. so does my one friend and another... i must say that it doesn't matter what OS you're running nor system specs... something they coded is really fudged up... I'd like to know how to fix it as well.. cause this is one of the worst things in the game.. otherwise.. its pretty good

Yes, it a very high pitched sound, like a larsen effect when a microphone signal gets amplified in a loop by the speakers. Very ear splitting, and bad for my nerves.

I uninstalled Resistance, and reinstalled OFP to version 1.46, and now the problem is absolutely gone...

It looks definitely like a Resistance problem
