Sound problem

[wilburg]

I'm having a problem with BF2 sounds. When I select the hardware sound the sounds begin to lag and bug, I can like hear sounds from 500m away. It's really hard to describe it. It's working fine with software and high quality.

My sound card is Terratec Aureon Fun 5.1, eax and eax2 support.

Thx!

That is a fairly poor sound card (What i can gather from a quick internet search) so dont be too dissapointed that you cant use hardware support. It works ok on software support right? That will be good enough to play surely?

It's ok with software but it doesn't support 5.1 and that suxxorz. Oh maybe I just have to go and buy a new one.

Im pretty sure that to have 5.1 sound on BF2 you have to have your game set to hardware support.

update your drivers. Mine does the same exact thing with my nVidia Soundstorm. Its like when you get into the game it thinks you are everywhere in the map so it renders every single sound thats going on the the map right? Its like really loud distorting annoying rumbling. This has probably have to do with EAX. I had it set on hardware too and when i switch it to software it drops my frame rates and it sound crappier. O yeah and this problem happens once in awhile and to fix it all i have to do it exit out of the game and re enter.

I had the same problem when I had a Ac 97 onboard sound with old drivers.. I updated the drivers and the problem was gone
