theavonlady 2 Posted January 18, 2005 Hi - I am also facing a sound issue. If I get in any kind of vehicules while using external view (3rd person I guess) then I can't hear the vehicule engine/sounds. I have to switch to driver / internal view to hear some sounds.Disabling audio hardware acceleration works to solve this problem, but again I am loosing 5-7 fps ... I am using Realtek on board ALC850 with 5.10.00.5760 drivers. I get the same thing now The cobbler's children go barefoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Totala 0 Posted January 18, 2005 Thanks a bunch all for your suggestions. I'll try both going back to older drivers for Realtek and replacing the ALC850 with Audigy 2, and eventually installing the patch for SoundBlaster audio card... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted January 18, 2005 LOL @ Avon, took me a second to understand the idiom Totala obviously if you can afford it an Audigy2 rather than onboard sound is an immeasurably better option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Totala 0 Posted January 22, 2005 Right, impressive how the Audigy 2 "sounds" better than one of the latest audio chip from Realtek : the ALC850 (7.1). Thank you for your advices Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abbe 0 Posted February 11, 2005 Just started to use my M-Audio Delta card instead of the onboard ALC850 and not only did all the sounds came back (with crisp and punch as well), OPF ran really much faster now! No stutter at all even though I always use ECP...(Battlefiels smooth as never before). I guess the CPU needs all it's power to OFP instead of driving the onboard sound...! bw Abbe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
