Sound bug - I can hear friendly/enemy artillery anywhere on map!!!

[Harmor]

I just switched soundcards. I was using a very old PCI Sound Blaster Live! and upgraded to my motherboard's built-in soundcard.

Now no matter where I am on the map I can hear artillery as its firing from the actual artillery pieces as if I was standing right next to it!!!

I don't know how to fix. I'm not using EAX and have my audio settings set to Medium.

Anyway I can fix this?

And before you accuse me of it I am not running any hacks or cheats.


Here's my Audio.con file:

AudioSettings.setVoipEnabled 1
AudioSettings.setVoipPlaybackVolume 1
AudioSettings.setVoipCaptureVolume 1
AudioSettings.setVoipCaptureThreshold 0.16
AudioSettings.setVoipBoostEnabled 1
AudioSettings.setVoipUsePushToTalk 1
AudioSettings.setProvider "software"
AudioSettings.setSoundQuality "Medium"
AudioSettings.setEffectsVolume 0.329486
AudioSettings.setMusicVolume 0.204989
AudioSettings.setHelpVoiceVolume 0.329486
AudioSettings.setEnglishOnlyVoices 1
AudioSettings.setEnableEAX 0

its not a problem its called realistic in real life you can hear artillery and mortars firing. In BF2 the maps in real life would only be 1-4 miles at the widest. My dad was in Iraq and he told me about you hear more the mortar firing than it incoming.

If you first hear it incoming then your dead.
