Greg 0 Posted April 4, 2003 To help reduce the audible problems with the SB Live with HW acceleration on in OFP, I tried the following registry change: Setting the DWORD value for Turbo to 0 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Creative Tech\Emu10kx\DriverSettings\Wave\Pin#00000002 I then benchmarked the computer using 'Ziff Davis Media Audio WinBench 99'. Â The results were consistant and surprising. Â With this registry change, the CPU usage went up from an average of perhaps 8% to 35%. Â Having said that though, I didn't notice significant slowdown within games in general or in OFP. I also benchmarked CPU utilization on a few other sound chips including CMedia and NForce2. Â If Placebo or someone would like to give me a email address, I'll send some .GIFs (total 196k) of the benchmarks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted April 4, 2003 I have also realized that EAX effects don't seem to work well with this setting. At first I thought they did. You can still get proper 5.1 directional sound etc. Anyway, I'll take it over crackling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
