weird noises and i can't figure out what's going on.

Re: weird noises and i can't figure out what's going on.

I'm glad it's not just me then!

I've been away for a week and had the same weird noises and loss of own weapon sounds.

Thanks for the solution - i'll give it a try.

Cheers,

Busta

try to update the sound drivers

Re: weird noises and i can't figure out what's going on.

I don't have any info. But the issue is being caused by the NEW version of pb. It auto updates which is why it just started happening. They will need to fix it.

Re: weird noises and i can't figure out what's going on.

i just played about 6 rounds to see if i could troubleshoot some more. of course it didnt happen this time. guess i'll have to wait. do you have any info on the punkbuster issue possibly causing this. do i need to update pb?

Re: weird noises and i can't figure out what's going on.

I have the same issue. I get this really annoying static and I do not get rifles shots when I fire. I can hear others but when I shoot I can hear just the impacts and brass falling.

It just started at the beginning of this week. I beleive it is being caused by punkbuster. I have not changed or installed anything. This happened to me a few months ago, and after PB rolled a new patch out it went away. I only get it on Punkbuster servers, and not on single player. I have an Audigy 4 card. Some others have posted about this issue as well.

Re: weird noises and i can't figure out what's going on.

i did get a mic recently. i had the mic for about a week without a problem though. it's one of those ones that go on one ear with a boom mic that goes in front of your mouth. do you think that could be it. if it is how can i still use the mic and avoid the sound. i'm not next to the speakers or anything.

Are you sure it isn't feedback from a microphone or something?

Re: weird noises and i can't figure out what's going on.

i have a sb audigy 2 5.1. it's a couple years old. i checked the connections and everything is ok. only happens in bf2. if i'm listening to intunes or using another program with sound it doesn't happen.

What sound card do you have?

Make sure they are connected properly.

this started happening a few days ago. all of a sudden these strange sounds start coming out of my speakers. i can't really describe them. they don't sound like the annoying dial up sound but its the closest thing i can compare them to. sometimes they continue the whole round. sometimes they quit after a minute or so. after i hear the noises the sounds from my gun are barely audible. all other sounds are ok. i played yesterday and had no problems until my last round. today i'm playing and the first round is ok and every round since then it's happening. it was non stop today. even when i disconnected from the server it was still making the noise until i quit bf2. has anyone else experienced this problem? does anyone know what this could be. thanks.
