BabaZed 1 Posted January 23, 2002 I'm using sound blaster live 5.1 under win2k and i get this crackle prob with or without EAX and acceleration, so i just been to update the drivers from CL (SBLiveXPDrvUpdate), ive give it a good testing (with and without EAX/acceleration) and i'm still getting the crackle its just that putting EAX on makes it a little less obvious. However i only get crackle with certain vehicles ie. Jeeps at low revs, tanx, and uh60 choppa it seems that its the low frequency sounds i have trouble with, this doesnt happen on any other game as ive noticed but then again with me being hopelessly addicted to OFP i dont really see much else. A very strange problem because since owning OFP the day it came out ive had these damn crackles, but whats even weirder is when i first got the game i was running a Yamaha crappy soundcard under winME, then i got a soundblaster live and it still happened, so i got that turtle beach soundcard (Å80 approx) it still happened, and now im running a soundblaster live 5.1 under win2k with new hard drive (and ALL relevant updates) and it STILL happens. -------------------------------------------- o/s Win2k VIA motherboard (latest 4in1 adapters) installed pIII gig 256 ram geforce2 3d prophet gts 32mb Soundblasterlive 5.1 512k cable modem (terayon), through ethernet (realtek) 10mbps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P.s Thanx Avon lady anyways, jeez you must be a busy lady! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
