| 160185 | 2003-07-16 00:03:00 | Ok my turn to post a problem. I just bought a new Soundblaster Audigy 2 sound card. It all seems to be working fine but for some reason I lose sound when playing Counterstrike and sometimes I have to reboot to get it back. Has anyone suffered this issue or know what the problem is. I have tried various EAX settings and have even turned EAX off but I still lose the sound. Specs are Windows 2000 SP3, AMD XP2100 cpu and 768meg DDR 333 of ram. Motherboard is an Asus A7V8X, Leadtek Ti4400 GF4 and Soundblaster. The onboard sound has been diabled and the latest Bios is installed. Any help would be muchly appreciated. Also using DirectX9a. | Odin (227) | ||

It worked fine for files on HD though. Problem was that the on-board sound card was still enabled so as the cable was between the Audigy sound card and the CD I got no sound. Check the cable is connected corrctly. Also, have a look in Device Manager and disable your old sound card if its still in there. HTH |

Its just that when I am playing CS the sound is ok then begins to fade and stops or it simply stops altogether. I know there is an issue with cs where if you alt tab to the desktop you will lose the sound but in this case I haven't done that, although the result is virtually the same. As for my on-board sound I actually removed the drivers and removed the device from the window configuration completely as well as diabling the device in the Bios. |

| 160190 | 2003-07-16 14:30:00 | Yes I was going to say you sometimes lose sound when you alt-tab. Try alt tabbing a few times when you lose sound and see if that brings it back. Even returning to the main menu quickly, then back into the game. Experiment with the sound settings in Counterstrike as well, I know you can enable/disable some stuff in there if you have to. -Dave -------------------------- Don't ever buy from the PC Company. Just like you wouldn't shop at the Warehouse if you were looking for good quality goods and service, same concept applies with the PC Company supermarket. -------------------------- |

| 160191 | 2003-07-17 02:35:00 | Nothing seems to work, even quitting the game and restarting doesn't fix the problem, most times like I said I have to actually reboot the machine to get the sound back just for the game all other sound still works like music and videos, it's just games that don't seem to work it almost like something is bottlenecking the game sound channel or blocking it all together. This one has me really stumped and Creative aren't responding either (as usual). My only theory is that there are still remnants of the old sound drivers still active on the system and maybe causing a conflict, but the only way to fix that is to format (again) which I'd rather not do since its only been a month since the last one. ;-) |
