I also have trouble with my own voice. It usually very squeaky and scratchy. I sound like a ten year old after three whiskeys and a cigar....

You think a new soundcard would do the trick?

The SBLive! is a CPU hog. The Soundstorm should have been better than the SBLive!

Very odd.

Yep,I trashed my SB live when I switched to a NF2 mobo.

Schatzi you removed the SB + the drivers before testing the Soudstorm ?

You mean as in physically remove? No, ill have to try that. Where can i get a hold of the drivers to delete them?

Just remove it , the driver should be removed by windows.

To check press Windows Key + Pause it should open the system properties then click of the hardware tab and remove all Sound blaster entries you see in the tree list .

How so? I've bee running an SB-Live for about 4 months not with no problems. Overall performance is outstanding.

Just curious.

Removed SB, swiched onboard sound on in BIOS and installed it.

Besides the fact that the sound is horrible and i get stutters when firing canons, the problem with the pauses after vox transmissison persists.

Im trying a reinstall of 2.06.1 from scratch on a defragmented HDD now....

OK, just did a clean reinstall.

On 'virgin' settings, all was well.
Copied backed up settings folder in: pauses were back.

Now i reconfigured my stick, keyboard, graphics settings etc, and just copied the files for head position and skin settings back in, seems to be working now.

Still dont know what exactly caused it, but its working now.

Thanks and >S< to all that helped!

Same problem here. I found out that it happens, when i have checked "Preload in system memory" and "Preload skins". If they are unchecked, problem don't exist.

This happened with 3D-Club R9250 and is happening with Sapphire X800 video card.

Actually, the preload of skins probably was the issue Bushwack. You need 1.5GB of system RAM (or more) to preload the skins and the textures now.
