Sound issue - I hear everything even underwater

Pillar · 02-09-06, 05:11 PM

I did a search for this but I didn't find anything, so I assume it's okay to post. (?)

The issue is that I can hear all the sounds, environmental or otherwise, no matter where I am. I can be 150m depth and still hear everything loud as ever.

Apart from being able to hear everything, and loudly, all the sounds are also very garbled together. There is what sounds like a loud engine noise (again, even submerged) and airplane noises as they fly overhead.

Any advice on how I might solve this, or what might be causing it? I'm patched up to 1.4b.

I have this sometimes when I alt-tab a lot and play grammophon tracks in winamp. the only thing that helps me then is to restart sh3.

Unfortunately I'm having the problem consistently, every time I run the game. I haven't yet had it go back to normal.

Maybe it helps to disable the sound hardware acceleration. Start/Run/dxdiag, Sound tab.

That did indeed help, thanks GE.
