Sean Mudge Posted December 24, 2001 Report Share Posted December 24, 2001 Try checking to make sure your sound card is set to the proper speaker configuration in the tb contol panel. I had the same thing happen. When I first d/l the new drivers TB was defaulted to the six speaker setup. I reset the speakers to two and the firing sound came back. I have also noticed that the voice notification that you are approaching a "jump gate", does not play as on my sound card. I get the writing on top of the screen and the appearance of the officer but no voice. I wonder if maybe I need a four speaker setup to run all sounds (comm chatter, jump gate voice) of BCM on my system. Anyone else finding this problem?Other than that and comm chatter all is fine.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Mudge Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Just as an update the 4142 sound drivers from Turtle Beach's site do not seem to fix the issues with comm chatter in Win XP. At least not on a Dell system.Maybe next timeCheers FYI neither do the 4142 drivers that you can download from the Dell support site which are supposed to be dell's tbsc specific.[ 01-18-2002: Message edited by: Oban ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon 5 Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 I'm not sure if this is a problem... but I'm having some "trouble" with the random mp3 playback.I have 196 songs in my music directory, all of then are CBR-128-44 (I've verified them all).My "problem" is : The songs are always played in the same order.The first songs (as I remember) : 1 - The Matrix - Lunatic Calm - Leave You Far Behind 2 - BCM - The player 3 - IL Caesar - Are you afraid of my eyes 4 - Push - Universal Nation (the real anthem) 5 - Dj eN - Life is a loop ...Not that I don't like those songs, but I have a 10 hours "playlist" and since I don't play 10 hours straight often, there are some songs I will nearly never hear, and hearing the same 10-30 songs gets annoying...

Guardian452 Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 Hmmm....I've just noticed that I'm not getting the background chatter either. Looking into it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Nova Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 I don't either, but IIRC, it was removed. The files are still there for the chatter, but you just can't hear it.Either that, or I'm having a problem, too. Haven't given the chatter much thought, so I just now noticed it.

I can't hear them on my Santa Cruz rig either. I'm thinking this is a driver problem.Lets see if we can isolate it. Who else cannot hear the background chatter when activated in CONFIG? Set the soundfx volume to 10 and crank up your speakers just to be sure.If you can hear it, what sound card + driver do you have?If you cannot hear it, what sound card + driver do you have?Make sure the above info in your profile are updated and CURRENT. I'll just look there.[ 01-06-2002: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian452 Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Addendum: I do have the background chatter after all. Thing is, to actually be even vaguely aware of it, I have to have the volume up so loud that other sound FX damn near bust my eardrums.btw, I play with music off(just in case you thought it may have been the music drowning out the chatter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted January 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 I came across this bit today, and since we use MP3 streaming, thought I'd pass it along. quote: It looks like the underlying cause for the "sound crash" issue that some players have been experiencing since the December 21st patch may have been successfully identified. The following information was posted to the Connectivity and Tech board: "After a great deal of investigation, we've come to the conclusion that the primary cause of the "sound crash" some players began experiencing after the December 21st patch was the result of certain hardware/software configurations corrupting the new streaming audio (MP3) data and gradually causing the system to hang. "Thanks to a lot of help from players who were experiencing the problem, we've found a fix that has helped everyone who's tried it: Installing the Live!Ware 3.0 software that comes on the installation CDs for SB Live! cards. This software installs a variety of utilities, but the key files are UpDDrv98.exe/UpDDrv95.exe. (One user ran those by themselves and also saw the sound crashes immediately stop.) "This software can also be downloaded from: - Windows 95/98 (Be sure to download the complete package) - Windows ME "Our contact at Creative Labs' Developer support recommends that users with Windows XP/2000 use these drivers. "If you have been experiencing this frustrating problem, please install the Live!Ware 3.0 software and let us know how it works for you." Thanks to Tajima for the information!

surfnlt Posted March 4, 2002 Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 I also have loaded the KX Drivers and my system has been very stable with no CTD's since. It's quite apparent that the SB 5.1 drivers are to blame for my system's instability. Thanks Xierxior for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveUK Posted March 4, 2002 Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 Works for Win98SE as well. I had abandoned my SB Live card and was using onboard AC97 sound instead. I'm now using the SB Live card again and with these drivers I've had no CTD's at all. Thanks Xierxior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted March 6, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 You need to download winRAR from www.winrar.com and use it to extract the program. Then read the docs which are extracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Põdi Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 This is something which happens intermittently to me, so it's not a bug per se. If I resume or restore a game, occassionally the game hangs and becomes completely unresponsive. Then only option is to reboot. I noticed it seemed to happen just after the music starts, so being a bright spark, I turned off the music and it worked fine. Going into Config and and re-enabling the music doesn't seem to trouble it. Anyone got any bright ideas where I should start looking? I've got the Liveware 3.0 update for my SBlive! I tried the kxdev link mentioned above, but it's dead. This is in my WinXP boot BTW. Just a sidenote, now I have a half-decent machine, the game looks great at 1024 x 728 (or whatever) and 4xS AA. This will improve somewhat when I get a GF4 Ti4600 tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveUK Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Paddy, I only just noticed your message. For you and anyone else who wants to use the KX drivers the site is now at http://www.kxproject.spb.ru They're worth a try - there's a WIN XP installation guide at http://www.kxproject.spb.ru/xp.php Best of luck!
