It could perhaphs be some sort of driver conflict, but it may also be
that you can fix it by tweaking UT.

Try playing with the Latency setting i UnrealTournament.ini*

Latency=60

is the setting that works in my system.

Kind regards

I'm not really sure what you are asking. The INI-file I was refering to
is to be found i a folder called SYSTEM and that folder is a subfolder
to the folder that holds your UT installation. It is so on XP, as I use
also, and on every other platform you can run UT on.

Please try and elaborate if I have gotten your question wrong.

Kind regards

Yes. EAX has been supported since UT99.

I can't find the page on Creative's site, but Gamespot has a page up

I had nearly the same phenomenon back 1 yr ago. Sound was
distorted in UT99 only, not very often though.
I realize by reading your post, that it disappeared sometime!
I have still my Soundblaster Live card (XP pro with all sp),
but changed my Radeon 7200 based graphics adapter with a Radeon
9250 based one. I installed new drivers and reinstalled directx
after this change.

THX,
I tried DXdiag, but no results. All other Games/Apps work fine, just UTgoty
sometimes distortes the sound.
When you had the same prob, what did you change? Could it be an Interrupt
Problem? Ore do i have to set my Soundcard into another PCI-Slot?
But that cant be it, cause all other Games work fine.
Graphicscardchange cant be it? If U use the same slot.
By the way, I have an Elitegroup ECS K7S5A Mobo.

U got me right.


I tried different soundconfigs in Windoze, but nothing helped.

Inbetween (in the mean Time), I believe I got a corrupt Soundcard, but
Duffguy tells, he had the same prob.
Oh damn, this really drives me nuts now, cause i have to restart my pc and
sometimes when i wanna join the server - the server is now full.

The sound problem appeared very rarely so I didnt really
search a fix. Sounded like a bad tuned channel on tv.
But Dxdiag didnt reveal any problems too.
I reinstalled the latest directx because I _changed_ my
graphics adapter. So this could be the reason, UT99 runs
fine now.

Looooooong time ago, some friend had trouble with his
Matrox and playing sound. I remember we solved that by
changing Matrox device driver not to use an IRQ. So
maybe...

I remember back someone posted a sentence like:
"IRQ sharing with Sound Blaster cards is not for the
weak of mind (or heart), ..." )

Did you try my suggestion? I mean trying UT with different settings in
UnrealTournament.ini

Kind regards

Hi,
No, I did not, cause I didnt know what to change.
Heres a part of my .ini:

[Audio.GenericAudioSubsystem]
UseFilter=True
UseSurround=False
UseStereo=True
UseCDMusic=False
UseDigitalMusic=False
UseSpatial=False
UseReverb=False
Use3dHardware=False
LowSoundQuality=False
ReverseStereo=False
Latency=40
OutputRate=22050Hz
Channels=16
MusicVolume=160
SoundVolume=200
AmbientFactor=0.7


Can u get anything wrong there or what causes my problem?
I dont see anything, even when i turn on UseSurround - nothing changes.

Seems to me like i have to live with that:-(

Thanks for your help, ill post it here if i got a solution for the prob.
