Recommended Posts

Hi all!

reinstalled Resistance patched it to v1.96.

but now if i play it, my sound goes away after some seconds and i can't hear nothing... what i can do to fix that new problem?

system preferences:

Buy a good soundcard, preferably one that supports surround sound.

thx.. but that don't help me yet... i changed to onboard sound because i had problems with my sound blaster and another one... had some in reserve.

other ideas ??

EDIT: I tested my sound with the DirectX Diagnostic Tool....

the tool said my sound card (onboard sound) does not support hardware buffering.... is that maybe the reason for my problem?

Identify your onboard sound properly and try to find correct and updated drivers for it, can make a big difference if you haven't done that, a lot of onboard sound is actually pretty decent these days so you may get lucky smile_o.gif

I had this sound problems myself before i used -nomap. Since i start OFP with the -nomap command there are no sound problems.

I`ve played OFP with the Soudblaster PCI 128 and currently i`m using an Soundblaster Audigy2. I guess it was an Sounblaster live that made problems, i never had problems with OFP and a Sounblaster card.

Great news!

Looks like so that my problem is history...

I updated my bios, my onboardsounddrivers and now the sound in ofp works fine...

you should drag this thread into *TROUBLESHOOTING FAQ

it could be useful for people with the same problems in future.

And Thanks again people....

I have this problem also: Its actually not really a problem.

If i turn Sound Hardware Acceleration (of the sound card) off but convert quality high -> the OFP ingame sound works very well.

If i turn the Hardware Acceleration ON (in the settings menu of the soundcard) the sound in OFP is really bad and it dissappear or my PC shuts down.

--> maybe this was the reason for your problem. But anyway. its solved wink_o.gif
