Espectro (DayZ) 0 Posted February 10, 2002 Hi there. I have this problem with my sound (After i installed windows XP). It works fine, but when i try to enable hardware accelerated, it clumses up. Well, it runs, but theres no sterio whatsoever (I cannot hear what side the sound is coming from). EAX doesnt seem to make ANY difference whatsoever. Please help me. I have Terratec DMX XFire 1024 It worked fine under win98. I have tryed to run it in compatible mode.... no luck :/ I allrdy have the latest driver wriitten especially for winxp.

(CYBA)JakkedUptron 1 Posted February 10, 2002 Creative=sucks They would NEVER have updated the Live drivers for Win2k if it wasn't for WinXP coming out. I don't know why they even bothered to make that Live Update systray proggie either. It NEVER had an update. I removed that from my riegistry since it was a TOTAL waste. Creative bites!!!! Sorry, had to vent and I feel your pain. Good luck getting it fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Espectro (DayZ) 0 Posted February 10, 2002 Well... thats the reason why i didnt buy a creative soundcard, but a terratec one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DodgeME 0 Posted February 10, 2002 Well you should go to the site of your sound card and see for new drivers and things like that. Also Creative cards are nice. I play the game with hardware acceleration, EAX and it has no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
(CYBA)JakkedUptron 1 Posted February 11, 2002 Creative cards AREN'T nice and the proof is in the number of updated drivers. They are buggy as hell, and they REFUSE to update them. Forget about running an SMP machine with a Live card. It crashes every day. Forget about waiting for an update from Creative, because it will NEVER happen. Just watch how many updated drivers come out for WINXP now that Creative has released those drivers. It WON'T happen. I used to have an AUREAL A3D card, and it rocked. The drivers where updated regularly, bugs where fixed... I just wish I new what would be the best soundcard to run in an SMP machine. I'd buy it in a minute. Oh yea, and EAX just plain suxs. It isn't even in the same ballpark as A3D. With A3D postional audio I could pinpoint the location of a person running in the game HL-DM. Then blast em with the TAU gun right thru the wall/floor/ceiling with pinpoint accuracy. Of course, I was called a cheater for it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unetwork 0 Posted February 11, 2002 Hello to all, well I have also a Live full in Win ME everthing worked good, als the sound in Windows XP is good and everything worked when I installed all OFP from the start version 1 to version 1.3 and to 1.4 I made a soundtest and it works, but....as soon as I switch to missions and start one the sound stops, besides of telling me that Creative suckes is there any I can do to fix this bug or is it that OFP is not for Windows XP? All my other games, even older ones are working fine with sound and 3D... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cookj71 0 Posted February 12, 2002 Here is your solution: I have a SC Live 5:1 system. The game is not seeing the EAX etc. but XP has it active and the game produces 5:1 sound without hardware or EAX enabled. Keep them disables, which was default when the game installed on XP. You sill still get full suround sound etc. Callsign: Cowboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rowdy 1 Posted February 12, 2002 I have SB LIVE 5.1 and i know the sound cant be any better than it is with ME . However i get crackles and pops in XP . SO i went and got the AUDIGY .Same problem . SB now has released the new disc drivers . call this number 1-800-998-1000 or 1-800-998-5227 and they will mail you a new Disc for XP . I have a disc for SB live 5.1 and a disc for audigy on the way . Hope this solves the problem .I think the Sb live 5.1 cost a couple dollars i gave em a credit card number . ( I Know WTF ?)
