Punkbuster messing up sound

Re: Punkbuster messing up sound

I have an audigy 1, with EAX enabled, and it was giving me blue screens. I just about reinstalled windows, and finally cleaned out BF2's dir, reinstalled, and now I don't get the BSOD, but I do get this digital screech for .2 seconds about 10-50 seconds into the round.

Re: Punkbuster messing up sound

PunkBuster "pushes" hardware and the Windows Operating System more than most software and uses functions in the Windows API (low level functions) that aren't used by most other programs. As such, there are a few cases where using PB can actually expose flaky hardware or other situations that don't cause problems for other software...so it is possible that PB can cause sound problems but it's no big deal because it's most likely that you have EAX on, just turn it off. You think sound problems are bad? I got Norton Virus and it causes bf2 to lag like crazy because it interferes with PB!
