Really wierd sound issue

[Jester983 0]

Alright well this is the first time Ive had a serious problem with ofp and im looking for some help.

My problem is that my sound in ofp is really messed up. It sounds like a cricket every time you shoot the m16 or most any other weapons. Explosions sound like normal explosions but sometimes i can hear them and sometimes i cant. I cant hear any engine noises. That includes choppers and most other vechiles.

The problem occured when i put in a new faces pack. cant remeber the name but it was on cz a week ago or so. And i think thats what might've caused it so I took it out. Still no change. A week before i put it in OFP was running fine.

The soundspack im using is the one that was specifically made for resistance. Came out a little bit after 1.85 i believe. cant remeber the name.

So im thinking i might as well just reinstall... any ideas?

this is where your new .22 rifle comes in handy. take PC out and shoot it.

on serious note, give new installation a try. make sure you back up some crucial folders and files like USERS folder and flashpoint.cfg(or the file that saves user preferences).

i'm assuming that you did not install anyother applications/drivers before this happened.

I had that problem

I THINK it may have something to do with EAX being enabled on your sound option screen.

You could always re-install, yes

woops forgot to mention about the EAX. I did turn it on before i started the game. Then when I got it i decided not to use it and turned it off via my desk top. I have a task bar for EAX on my desk top (at the top). When I came back the sound was messed up. Then i repeated the same thing. Turned it back on and no difference. still messed up. Its not my card because in other games it works fine.

anyways, i think i might just go with the reinstall. Need to do some addon cleaning out anyways.

And btw ralph. my .22 would be no fun shooting this thing up. I think a .223 would be alot more fun. That or a .45
