Strange sound problem with audigy 2 zs

[txalin 2]

Hi, i have an audigy 2 zs and an external decoder, ddts-100(dont ask, its a present ) with creative t7900 speakers , in all games i play its sound fine, all seems correct, but in flashpoint i have some little problems. First of all, i play with eax and hardware accel enabled and with the latest drivers.

1ÅŸ) when i press the sight view (letter v i think), the sound is really low, looks like the speakers are off.

2ÅŸ) When playing with the first person view the central speakers sound very very low, the rest of speakers sound correct. And if i change to third person view when, for example, i'm on a helicopter the front speakers sound again too low, damn, i have an helicopter in front of me and i can hear it

had try to disconnect the ddts-100 and use only the audigy but nothing happens, the same problems, then, using the ddts-100, i deactivated eax on flashpoint, and again othing happened, and at last i deactivated the hardware accel, then, obviously, i lost the positional audio

żAny idea?

How many speakers do you have and how many have does windows think you have?

Open the control panel and choose sound and sound devices or what's it called. Choose advanced in the Speaker settings field. There you can choose your speaker setting. If it is set for 5-1 but you only have two speakers sounds will disappear in some directions.

No, the problem is that all the speakers sound right on first person view, but when im on sight view the sound dissapear. Btw, the win configuration is ok, all the games sound perfectly, only flashpoint give me that error.

And how is the DDTS-100 in anyway relevant to OFP? OFP doesn't have Dolby output, only DirectX or EAX-extended. You're starting your setup a bit too complicated.

One major niggly I have is most multi-channel games don't support tweaking the individual channel levels, it's all or none. What you should do first is plug your speakers directly into your Audigy to test out the components and check it in DX-EAX.

The DDTS-100 is designed to take Dolby audio data from a source like a DVD and do a pass-through across the Audigy to the external DSP to avoid the Audigy's notorious CPU cycle camping. OFP doesn't have Dolby output, so the Audigy has to mix in Dolby channel data to feed into the DDTS-100. You're likely to get some additional weirdness there as well as lag.

The Dolby controls for the Audigy are also in a non-standard location as well - at least for my Audigy2 Platinum. There is a seperate AudioHQ applet aside from all the standard pretty SB and Eax consoles that manages multiple SB cards and Dolby interconnects. That's where you select your processing mode, but then you have to go back to the sounds and audio control panel to setup the Windows audio settings and levels, then tweak things in the SB panels. Not exactly pleasent.

I had this problem too for a while... unfortunately, it affects all games, and unfortunately, I didnt fix it purposely... it just went back to normal after a month or 2

shinRaiden i know, and i do exactly what u say, disconnect the decoder and test, and again the same problem. Btw, if i use the ddts-100 with games the decoder dont do anything, only pass the audio signal without doing anything to it, so the decoder isnt the problem. Asi i had say on last post, all the games works fine on my computer, only flashpoint give me problems with audio
