Sound problems.... crackling.....


(_NeT_WalBanger) #1

Well i messed with my sound in a config and all was working fine… then i got a new sound card (top range one) and then i started to notice the sound was crackling, it usualy starts after a load explosion like Air strike, then it just continues even when there is nothing happening…
You know what might be causeing this???

in my “Autoconfig.cfg” i got these settings:-
// Sound
// ---------------------------------------
seta s_doppler “1” // no doppler effect as bullets wizz past
seta s_mixahead “0.22” // improves FPS but may need tweaking dependent on sound card (try 0.22 if sound goes weird)
seta s_mixPreStep “0.1” // as s_mixahead
seta s_musicvolume “0” // no music
seta s_volume “0.6” //
seta s_khz “44” // Sound quilty.
seta s_separation “1” // Sepatating left/right channels.
seta s_defaultsound “0” // What it says.
seta s_wavonly “0” // What it says.

Sound card= Creative SB audigy zs audio 6.1 (may even be 7.1)

P.S sound works fine for everything else (even ventrillo which is running at same time)

I have no idea what’s causing your problem, but afaik…
s_doppler 1 means you do hear the doppler effects… instead of ‘no doppler effect as bullets wizz past’

The first step in solving this would be to set the sound cvars to the default values. If you still have problems after that then it’s not that problem at least.

edit: I would bet that changing s_mixPreStep to default 0.05 would solve your problem.

Yep thats the 1… i tried sorting that by going wrong way… i went 0.2 and 0.3 but they did weird things :slight_smile:

0.5= a crackle every 30secs
so i did 0.4 and it seems perfect now…

Thanks a lot guys :slight_smile:
