Repost BHD TS Issue

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.delta-force (More info?)

Hi There,
I'm hoping this isn't a repetitive question but my partner and I would love
a solution if there is one out there. I'm sure we aren't the only ones to
have had this issue.
We've recently installed Black Hawk Down and Black Hawk Down Team Sabre. The
issue we have is that there is a delay in sound [stuttering/lagging] when he
is playing TS.
We've been to the website and one solution was to fiddle with the audio
hardware acceleration (which we did but no success as the problem
resolution). I've written to Novalogic and still waiting for a response.

Everything else works fine with the exception of BHD TS. Could anyone help
with a solution to this problem as I'm sure it's more than likely a really
basic and simple correction we have to make.

Thanks In advance
Linda

I don't think you are being ignored, I just suspect that no one else has
come across the problem. The usual advice in these situations is to
re-install the game and make sure you have all the latest drivers for your
sound and graphics cards.

FWIW I have found that the default Win XP driver for your soundcard is more
compatable with games than the Creative one. You could try uninstalling the
driver and then let Windows sort it out during a re-boot. Or if you are
already using the WinXP driver then try the Creative Labs one

Have you d/l all the updates for:

Windows
Motherboard
Soundcard
Videocard
.....

Is there another soundcard laying around that you could try?
Check your Computer IRQs and see if the soundcard is sharing an IRQ with
another device. You could move the sound card to another PCI slot.

BTW I just built a new AMD 2800 Barton with ATI 9800 video card and Audigy
sound card with WinME. I've only installed two games: Call of Duty and
Joint Ops. Call of Duty runs fine. However, I have sound struttering
problems with Joint Ops. I have all new drivers except for one. Sound
card. So when I get a chance I'm off to d/l any updates for it.
