Sound bug... tress, potential fix??

Srinidhalaya · #1 07-20-2011, 11:33 PM

Win 7 64bit
Intel 2600k 3.4ghz (Default Clock)
Asus P8P67 Deluxe Rev 3 Mother Board
Asus 580gtx 1.5gig
8 GiG Cosair RAM @ 1600mhz
3TB Hitachi HDD @ 6gig/sec
Antec 1200w PSU OC edition
Samsung 23.5" LCD Monitor 1080p 1920x1080

IN Game:
1920x1080 Res
Every other setting set to MAX, except I turned tree's off as mentioned above.

Sound cuts out after about 10-15 minutes. It always happens when a voice actor states an aircraft is in the area, but not the first time it happens, but it defiantly is still happening.

I've made CPU usage a log during game play that includes the sound cutting out, and there is no change of performance.

Out of interest (as i dont know myself) but does anyone have sound issues offline... similar to the online problems?

Yesturday, online, i had no problems with sound (only Mr X and two more players where on) for a good couple of hours..... then when i rejoined later with about 15 - 20 players online... i began to have sound issues within 30 to an hour of playing...

Sound problems linked to online and other players :S

Its just random mate, the only workaround at the moment is to turn all the trees off, I know it looks rubbish but its the only way to get it to work.

I think it all depends on your system or your install. I run the game at virtually maxed out settings with unlimited everything (including trees) and the only thing I had to do to fix the sound issue in MP was mute the AI voices. I play for hours on end without a sound problem, if ever, after doing that.

I also have an XFI Titanium sound card.

...mmm... I think my system's pretty powerful (besides the slowly ageing graphic cards)... but the sound problems are pretty much 'random' still...

I may try without the tree's at some point and see how it goes...

Just for extra info, i love my eye candy and have everything maxed, but with tress off once you are above 1,000ft you really can't tell the difference. Considering i tend to fly at 10,000ft plus this workaround it well worth it.

(i didn't know about the AI voice method as well, gonna try that with trees on and see which is best)

Ive had the voices off for months(they are just awful) and i was getting the sound bug.
Only thing that works for me is trees off, low didn't work.

But i disagree Tommy, its UGLY with out the trees.

Yeah I agree. I guess I've been pretty lucky
