Random Sound Distortion Issues


(PXAbstraction) #1

Hey everyone. I’ve been playing DB for a while but something in the latest patch is causing my sound to randomly distort and it’s driving me crazy as it only happens with this game.

I have an Asus Xonar DGX sound card but run all my audio mixing through VoiceMeeter to allow multiple outputs and also to mix my USB mic. What will happen is randomly when playing DB, everything with get this weird almost white noise like distortion to it (think of it as like if you took the game’s audio and fed it through an Atari 2600.) It affects not only the game but any other sound I have playing (for example, a video on my second display.) This can be resolved by quitting VoiceMeeter and restarting it but I have to do this every time this happens and it can sometimes be once every half hour or several times a minute.

As I said, this is only happening in DB. I thought it was an Unreal Engine problem but I tried a number of other UE3 games, none of which have this happen. I saw a couple of threads about sound distortion that talked about changing some values in ShooterEngine.ini which I did but it doesn’t appear to have helped. I also ran the problem by the developer of VoiceMeeter and he’s never heard of this happening before. This didn’t used to happen with DB and only seems to have started in the last patch or two.

It’s driving me crazy and I’m not sure what to do about it. Has anyone else run into this and if so, have they ever figured out a solution? Thanks all!
