alpha9 10 Posted August 15, 2009 same problem here with Creative Audigy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted August 15, 2009 It kind of works for me to move the in-game sliders to under 50%. But still there is distortion at times despite that. Also very very annoying is the clicks. After a shot i hear CLICK. Again - sounds like the soundengine flips OFF and ON or something like that. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enders 0 Posted August 15, 2009 I have the static/crackling problem, but another issue I have had since the start is that some sound events are not being positioned properly. For instance, an explosion goes off to my left, I turn to face it, but the sound is still coming from the left. ArmA1 audio works as it should, but ArmA2 doesn't. This under Windows 7 with onboard sound (Asus P6T Deluxe) and sennheiser 'phones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon C 0 Posted August 15, 2009 Is the sound issue not more worthy of a hotfix? It's really quite hard to play the game when you can only hear static. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dead3yez 0 Posted August 15, 2009 I thought I fixed my problem by reverting to older drivers. Well, I did fix the main problem, but still have a little one. I still get the clicking sound occasionally, like when pressing 'esc' to pause the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-duke- 0 Posted August 15, 2009 I'm glad to see some Audigy users are experiencing issues as well because this has driven me completely crazy. In my case lowering ingame sounds did not work all that well and I'd still receive enemy radio chatter at ear splitting volumes through my center channel. I did notice something interesting though as I lost my system drive recently and had to re-install my OS and everything that was on c:\ (where I also keep Steam). My version of XP Home is quite old (SP 1). I re-installed my entire Steam platform (including ArmA II) on SP 2 and the sound was absolutely perfect in 5.1, no issues whatsoever. When Windows XP automatically upgraded to SP 3 the issues were magically back. ...incidentally I had all these issues prior even on my old failed system drive. To make a long story even longer, there were no issues in SP 2 however they have reared there ugly heads once again in SP 3. My card is an Audigy 2 ZS; tried all the driver versions I could find. The ONLY thing that works for me at this time is using 2.0. It'll be nice to see this addressed in a future patch but I do agree with one of the previous comments that a hotfix is a much better idea. I know it may be a bit more work but it does suck being a loyal customer and not being able to enjoy a game due to major sound issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fusionofp 0 Posted August 16, 2009 I had crackles after 1.03, fixed by lowering volume in XP / Win7 control panel and raising my speaker volume to compensate. I left the ingame volume alone. A slight side issue, my Asus p5e-vm uses a Realtek ALC888, I connect via coax to an AV amp. In Arma2 I found no sound coming from the rear surround and center speaker. After some experimenting I now have full 5.0 sound ( no subwoofer attached :) ). I fixed this in a totally illogical way, in windows; set speakers to NONE. In the Realtek cp set speaker amount to 2. :crazy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted August 16, 2009 That's pretty funny :) The lack of 5.1 speakers (setting 5.1 gives you 2.1/2.0) is caused by a problem with the audio logic codec (the codec Arma 2 uses for sound, can't remember the exact name), reinstalling the codec should fix the issue.
