Greetings,

I have an issue I cant seem to fix. Regardless of what setting I have NPC gun sounds set to (all, none, at my craft) I can always hear when a ship is under attack, no matter where in the galaxy they are. I have tried changing the settings through the game and also by editing the "ucconfig.ini" file. I have the original UC (not installed) so I am not exactly "new" at this, but I need the help of the experts for this one.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Master-X

Remember, UC has distance based sound I believe for everything, and its set within a 250km range (Source: GAME_OPTIONS.PDF). This may be what you're issue is, you're too far away?

Q. SOMETIMES THE SOUNDS SEEM TO BE CUT-OFF OR I CANNOT HEAR SOME SOUNDS
A. There are reported problems with SB Live! cards, especially under WinME, which we cannot fix because they are
related to
the manufacturer's sound card drivers. Make sure you have the latest drivers. This problem may also occur on
other sound cards. Here are some things to try:

If you are running winXP and you have an SBLive! card, download the latest XP drivers from Creative Labs
Run the DXDIAG tool that comes with DirectX then go to the SOUND tab. Drop that slider down one notch.
Sample rate can remain where it is or you can try the IMPROVED or BEST settings
If you have a 4-speaker setup, make sure that you have the settings for your sound card are configured properly. If you
have powered Dolby 5.1 speaker setup, make sure you have them configured for true 4-speaker mode before running UC.
You can also try the /x commandline parameters (see end of file)

Edit2: Ugh, reread your post and I got it backwords. No real idea why it would do that, but perhaps there is an issue with your soundcard? Is it onboard or dedicated? Drivers up to date, etc?

I've had this problem too. It sometimes happens when the CAS is green and there are no ships in the area. So that means it's not a problem with the 250km limit for sound, unless there are mysterious cloaked ships everywhere I go...
