Title: Fading sound
Post by: flakbait on August 31, 2000, 09:38:00 AM: I don't know if this is a feature or what. Everytime I fire my guns, the sound fades in instead of exploding in my ears. Tire screech sounds like an odd scratching sound due to this. All in all, I'd prefer to have the sound explode in my ears. Over-stress and such does sound better with a slight fade, but this is nuts.

Post by: flakbait on September 03, 2000, 02:45:00 AM: I can't use Dx7a because I get very strange visual effects with it. My monitor changes from normal to a sort of wide-screen, plus everything looks a little smashed. I tried it once, ran into those troubles and said forget it. I'd rather use Dx6.1 and have some strange in-game effects [EG fading sound] than use Dx7a and have everything look strange.

Since my vid-card is an old Creative Labs Banshee, there aren't any drivers that will let me use Dx7a with it. I did it the first time by dloading the 3DFX Voodoo Dx7a patch and running that. The patch caused the odd visuals, and Dx7a just screwed up everything else.

Once money becomes a larger factor I intend to simply buy a new computer. That'll solve my crummy FPS problems, Dx7a trouble, maybe even the fading sound bit.

NOTE: I e-mailed Pyro just before 1.03 came out asking about Dx6.1 and whether or not it'd work. He told me he uses it, and that there should be no problem using Dx6.1 for a while yet.

I have an SB Live card and this happened under both Windows 98SE and Windows Me using either DirectX 7.0a and DirectX 8.0 beta build 0146.

Rebooting is the only fix.

At first, I thought it was because I was using voice progs, but it still happens without voice activated...
