Welps, since the new patch my sounds went crazy.
Crazy part being , its only the gun sounds!
Primary gun and secondary gun , no matter WHAT sound file I use, be it defaults, mitsu's whels', or some of my own, they sound (from the cockpit) as if they had a silencer on them.
However, if I use the F3 view and then use F8 to free the camera, and zoom in so my view is "just" inside the nose of my 38, and I fire, the gun sounds as they used to sound before the patch.
And its only the gun sounds. I installed a new sound for my rockets and it sounds perfectly from the cockpit. Sounds just like when I play it in windows.
I've tried using 22050 8 bit mono and stereo, 22050 16bit mono and stereo.. no joy.
So far I have:
1) Uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled AH (completely, I even erased the Aces High folder just in case it was a messed up file in AH).
2) Reinstalled Dx8.1 &rebooted
3) Uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled sound card drivers (latest from sound blaster website)
4) Checked all windows sound settings (out on a limb there because ALL other sounds but guns are fine in AH). tried sound hwr aceleration to low and high, no joy so its left on high.
5) Of course, the primary and secondary sounds are at 100% in AH sound setup. Even tried it at 50% and 0%, same thing. I do not use directwav for vox (it actually freezes my pc for a split second after each x-mit).
6) Started windows/AH with clean memory, only the ms sidewinder swr running in background. No joy.
This is quite annoying, I loved to hear my MGs and cannon rattle.
Ideas?
