bonko the sane 2 Posted January 21, 2004 Hi, i just installed latest EAX 4.0 driver from Creative in my SB Audigy and on occasion my OFP sound starts crackling like the old SB did with OFP, also, the distant sounds seem very near...unfortunately, nowadays, i get to play OFP once in a full moon, but i was wondering if anybody else is experiencing this problem.

SpaceAlex 0 Posted January 23, 2004 The drivers work fine for me. There are some bugs, like no sound if environmental effect are turned on, but everything else works fine. The sound is a lot better for me. I have Audigy 2 with 7.1 speaker setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jocko Flocko 0 Posted September 20, 2004 I had been putting off installing the EAX 4.0 drivers for some time because I know of this issue, but I have other games like most people that require the latest Audigy drivers... "also, the distant sounds seem very near" Yes, very annoying, and has totally killed the atmosphere in this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lee_h._oswald 0 Posted September 20, 2004 I am using now nforce2 onboard sound. Works well, no problems. Soundblaster is no fun with ofp. MfG Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted September 20, 2004 I am using now nforce2 onboard sound. Ditto Soundblaster is no fun with ofp. Ditto x2 Have you downloaded the Realtek drivers rather than the ones from Nvidia's integrated driver set? They seem much better and they're more recent, the configuration app seems better than the Nvidia one also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow 6 Posted September 20, 2004 Soundblaster is no fun with ofp. Just install the lates creative drivers for WinXP and disable EAX but keep HW-acc enabled. Audigy works fine in OFP and WinXP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They seem much better and they're more recent, the configuration app seems better than the Nvidia one also Not tried yet. But I must say, I am very happy with the unified drivers and apps. Just installed the new version 5.10, everything is fine. No problems in the few games I play. Maybe I will try the realtek drivers this weekend. --- @shadow I sold the audigy some time ago and I don't plan to buy a new one. -Nforce sound is well -space is rare in my shuttle barebone MfG Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
