deadhead 10 Posted August 8, 2009 Ive got a problem with my sound, i can get it working by setting -dsound in the shortcut but then i have a crackling and weird noise. My soundcard is an onboard realtek with codec: ALC883, i recently updated drivers and i have updated DirectX, In the demo of ArmA 2 the surround sound works but in ArmA1 it doesnt. my operating system is windows XP Pro sp3 . i also have updated OpenAL btw some help would be great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enduron 10 Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) I had the same trouble - was only able to get faux surround (stereo sound was duplicated on rear speakers) and the -dsound parameter while providing surround sound caused extra voices to play. This worked for me: download the openal soft driver from: http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal-soft-1.8.466-bin.zip and extract the "soft_oal.dll" file in the win32 folder to your windows/system32 folder. edit:If the above doesn't work try re-naming soft_oal.dll to "OpenAL32.dll" and overwrite the original in the system32 folder - make a backup copy first.
