ericinexile Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 For over a year (since switching to Vista) I've had an irritating sound issue that reared its ugly head in several ways but the two most obvious were a very high pitched N2 Turbine noise in the Ka-50 (which I had partially solved by opening and closing the cockpit door) and a loud afterburner sound on the ramp in LockOn. I searched forums and was pointed to all sorts of sound.cfg files to screw up and comments about a "known issue with Vista" but never hit on a solution until a recent search at simhq.com hit on a passing mention of Creative Alchemy. That solved both problems instantly. All of you probably already know this which would explain the lack of complaints about X-Fi sound. But for those in the dark, like me, I hope this helps.

Duke49th Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) DCS:BS: The F1&F2 - (open/close door) sound bug is known. It's an issue with the soundengine and can only be solved during a patch from ED. Don't know what you have done exactly but I don't hink that you fixed this bug with a new driver nore installing of Alchemy.;) (Because it is defintiv a sound engine bug, not a driver issue) I have Win7 x64 with newest Creative driver (Audigy, not X-Fi) + Alchemy. And I still have the bug. Your problem in LO: Don't know...I have no LO. Edited September 30, 2009 by Duke49th [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 49th Black Diamonds - DCS & Falcon BMS Online Squad
ericinexile Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 Well.... I'll make no claims about solving a problem for others. For me it is solved, without question. I've been playing Lomac and DCS for hours today and have enjoyed the quiet after a year of noise. btw, I had to manually add both Lockon and DCS to the alchemy games list as neither is officially supported by Creative.

Duke49th Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Then I think it is maybe another door open/close sound bug? This time it is the driver and/or alchemy? I cannot believe that a sound-engine bug can be fixed in Vista+X-Fi+alchemy only(?) Sound very strange to me... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 49th Black Diamonds - DCS & Falcon BMS Online Squad
