X-FI Sound is now different after patch.

[anthonyl]

My sound is now totally different after installing the patch. I have an X-Fi Extreme Music and now a lot of sounds are "muffled". I am using the exact same settings as I had before the patch.....hmmm anyone else notice this?

Not yet, but now I'll start to pay more attention.

I haven't noticed anything different either as yet (but the L96A1 sure sounds cool) but I will be paying more attention this evening ... could it be worth deleting the bf2 cache I wonder?.

Same problem here. The sound is WIERD, its like im hearing sounds from the hole map. I keep hearing the plane engines even though theres no plane near me, im hearing ppl dieing everywhere as loud as they were next to me and stuff like that oO

I also have an X-Fi extreme music. This is disapointing couse BF2 was one of the first games i actually noticed the sound improving ALOT when i bought the X-Fi

Re: X-FI Sound is now different after patch.

Hmmmn, out of curiosity what X-Fi drivers are you using?, the November 2.07.0004 or the 2.09.00 BETA drivers?.

The reason I ask is that had awful problems with the X-Fi XtremeMusic card on my previous PC and current PC initially, I was afflicted with terrible FPS performance , in fact it was unplayable. I had to rip out the X-Fi after much troubleshooting and put in my old Audigy. A couple of weeks ago though when the Beta drivers came along I decided to give them a try hoping I could once again hear the X-Fi quality sound and sure enough my performance levels are back to normal.

As I said earlier I haven't noticed issues so far but will pay more attention on my second evening of 1.2 testing ;-)

Keep me posted too. Sound seems fine but yeah at times some sounds feel louder than they should.
