Weird happenings in TFC

Vulcan · Registered User Joined: 29 Dec 2001 Posts: 2773

In TFC only, maybe only Half-life, I have sound that is crackling or something. This just started recently, but the only thing I have done is get a GF2 MX400 video card(most recent drivers), an optical mouse(most recent drivers) and got rid of the radeon card. I have a sound blaster PCI128 sound card(most recent drivers).

Make sure your mic and speakers are plugged all the way in.

Does anyone have a copy of the default copy of the config file, or knows how to get it back without a complete reinstall? I want to see if going to the defaults and then tweaking would help, since I did so many tweaks before(for the old video card of mine), that maybe something is out of place in my config and needs to be fixed.

Maybe your sound card or speakers are busted!

Ok, I formated my hard drive and reinstalled my OS and Half life. I installed directx 8.1a and the newest versions of my drivers. Nothing helped. Occasionally I have had my video stop and my sound began to loop. When my sound is crackling, it seems almost like it could be described as breaking up.

Is this still happening only during TFC?

I had that that problem a while ago when I first got my new soundblaster live 5.1 soundcard. What it ended up being for me was it came with to discs, the first was the software disc, the other was for all the applications. I uninstalled both and tried running each one without the other installed. When ever I installed the application software, I had a problem. That was on my old machine. So long story even longer, I just never installed the applications programs to my computer and the problem was solved. Seeing as how you are running a soundblaster card I thought it could be the same problem. Good luck and let me know if that was it.

When I reinstalled I grabbed the drivers off the website and didn't get any of the applications.

well, I am still having trouble. I even tried the drivers that came with the sound card. I hope someone else has any suggestions.
