    New sound card and now the sound is skippy

    Before I was using some old 1990 pos sound card and the game worked fine. I replaced it last weak with an Audigy 2 SE sound card. BF2 now has laggy, choppy sound and now bf2142 has the same sound problem but the entire game acts really choppy. Any ideas on how to fix this? The card itself is perfectly fine and all my non-ea games work great.

        Can you confirm this is an audigy 2 se? The problem with the Audigy se has been beaten to death (and there still isn't any other answer besides software sound). If it is an Audigy 2 SE, see the wiki found soundblaster audigy, specifically:

        Sound Blaster Audigy 2 SE

        This card is similar to the Audigy SE and Live! 24-bit edition in that it does not have a hardware DSP as part of the audio chip. As such it puts far more load on the host system's CPU. The card is physically smaller than other Audigy 2 cards. It is designed as an entry-level budget sound card.

            reinstallation of current drivers from

            http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/

            May be a nerfed driver issue. My Audigy works wonderfully but I don't have the exact same model as you.

              That pretty much sums it up about that card, it is a POS as far as a sound card for gaming.

              And the same thing can be said for the X-Fi Extreme Audio as well. All it basically is is a re-badged Live 24 bit/Audigy SE/DE/LS/Value in that it doesn't have the X-Fi chip on it and all processing is done in software and by the cpu.
