Sound is glitching and seem muffled..

[Kevlon]

Hi fellas,

 

im having some probs with the sound, tough i'd post here aswell.

I recorded a clip where the sound is glitching , and i dont know why this is happening. It is very frustrating and is destroying halvf of the experience with this game..

 

here's the clip :

 

 

something to compare with.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF8o4...eature=related ( what i believe the game should sound like)

 

anyone else have this problem?

 

Help is much appreciated

It's a known bug of the current sound engine together with volume problems. As to when they will be fixed, nothing has been said. :(

anyone have a quick fix for this ?

Sometimes if you pause the game for a couple of seconds the sound will get back to normal - hitting an exterior view and then back into the cockpit can do the same thing.

 

These have worked for me but only temporarily.

 

BTW - your second link says its a malformed video.

probably because DCS doesn't use OpenAL , at least that is my guess.

 

if they are still using Directsound3D then you won't get anything more than 2.1 out of the Vista unless you have an audigy/xfi with alchemy.

 

just a guess since i'm not sure what they are using for sounds.

Alchemy does seem to improve the sound situation a lot. It's still not perfect, but better than it was.

 

I don't have weird cuts when changing view, and surround-sound seems to work nicely from within the cockpit...

 

I just used the default settings.

 

EDIT: Using Creative XFi (extreme fatality gamer edition or some rubbish) and Vista x64 with latest drivers & alchemy version.
