I got an onboard Realtek 889 audio chip which works perfect with many of my games. Except SH5. System: XP/32 4GB RAM, Core2duo 3Ghz, 9800GTX+.
I have blue screeen crashes when big engagements between naval units take place or large aircraft formations attack, basically when lots of sound is played. I know it's the realtek driver crashing because I ran the debug tools on the dump file XP creates (Reference (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263)) and it's the audio dll.
I updated my audio drivers but still no go.
If I turn down the Audio Hardware Accelaration to basic, which is one click from none, the game plays but of course without the acceleration, FPS is down to 1-5 !
Also tried turning in-game Sound 3D Channels all the way down, which seems to delay the crash only a few more seconds.
So anybody having audio crashes, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
