Sound issue, mapwide sounds played at high volume

[PR]Pride · 2008-07-21, 13:07

I have a certain issue.

When i load up a map everything seems fine until i get to the kit-selection screen. Suddenly all the sounds all over the map are played at once, and continues to do so.

I've tried reinstalling, joining various servers, setting the volume lower/higher/diffirent.
After still experiencing and having allready searched for topics about this problem, i decided to post this thread about it since i have not found anything about it.
I apoligize if i have overlooked it.

If it's unclear as to what i'm hearing, i hear enemy supply trucks at the enemy's homebase as if i was lying under it, choppers firing or starting up, crashing, shots fired, horns of vehicles. From all over the map, the volume of these sounds makes it also indistinguishable if they affect me, shots could be coming towards me but could also be at the other side of Kashan desert or something.
It seems that i'm hearing all the sounds i Could be hearing, but mistakes me for being god that is everywhere or something.

For example i'm not hearing other squad's VOIP or other planes' incoming missile alert etc.

I hope someone is able to help,
Pride

zomg, i haz a twin.

Anyway, i don't know much about sound settings, though i have a feeling that this might have something to do with 'EAX' in the sound settings. Try turning it on, or off if you already have it on. Maybe change the 'hardware' setting to 'software or vice versa too, that may help.

Hope you work it out
