Author Topic: Integrated Sound Problem (Read 360 times)

First, I already know integrated sound is lousy. Now with that out of the way...

I have a major sound problem. I am using Mitsu's sounds. Usually on takeoff or anytime I kill my engine in flight I get an awful feedback type noise. It will continue and increase in volume for about 5-6 seconds unless I cause some other sound to happen (i.e. fire a gun, lower flaps).
I have the latest (and only) set of sound drivers available. I have tried re-installing sounds. Running out of ideas, pleh.

Does it happen with the stock sounds?

Yes, it does.

The only thing I can think of is the possibility that the sound chip is sharing an IRQ with some other high data usage device.

I can't find any conflicts. It's only on eng start/stop 99% of the time. I tried disabling those sounds and it still happens.

I am at a loss on this one. I know others have that sound chip and have not reported any errors like this. This would lead one to conclude it is something peculiar to your system configuration, but I have no idea what it would be.
If you would send me the output of DXDIAG, something might show up in it.

Sorry for the delay rpm. If I got the email, it has been responded to.

Got your e-mail. There are no new drivers for the sound, I looked.
I have an old SoundBlaster Audigy laying around somewhere. I might try installing it.
