1.08 Arma no Sound

[Dogtags 0]

Hi everyone.

I have had issue after issue with Arma and I have spent many hours in recent months getting it running.

Recently I build a new PC Q6600, 8800GTS , 2GB RAM with the hope that Arma would run smoothly and I was not dissapointed.

Arma runs graphically very nicely now.

My Problem:

There is no sound what so ever in the game. On my old machine I had sound but using the ASUS P5k mobo with realtek HD sound I get nothing.

The frustrating this is another 4 games I installed all work perfectly with sound so why not Arma.

If I go into the sound settings in Arma I think EAX was on and H/W was off and I can't change them, clicking on them does nothing. The only way to change them is by changing the config file values for EAX and H/W but either way still no sound.

The other thing is while I installed 1.04 and then patched that to 1.05 I ran 1.05 and I had sound, Great! then after patching to 1.08 I had no sound.

Can anybody shed some light on this issue? any idea?

Cheers

Bump!

Does anybody have any idea at all? Would turning on both H/W and Eax do anything? not sure if that would be good or bad though.

Try turning EAX off in your soundcard settings.

I can't be sure what causes this.. hmmm

Well I now do totally give up.

After another fresh install on top of a fresh XP install, all new drivers again I had sound when I patched to 105 but as soon as I patch to 108 I have no sound.

Thanks.

-dsound Use DirectX sound.

-openal Use OpenAl sound.

Try one of them (switch between the two) in your ArmA Startup settings.

Well putting -dsound gave me sound although all of the speech was broken up.

-OpenAL did nothing, no sound for that. Any idea why that would be?

Question - Are you using a USB microphone? I have had this problem recently when I started using my USB Mic...
