Sound Bug, Perhaps?

Zilch · 07-30-09, 08:25 AM

Hi, all.

Since installing SH3, every few minutes my speakers erupt with what can be described as a really loud "wave crashing" sound, or maybe an air jetting sound. Every time it happens I leap out of my chair a few inches, especially if there's a lot of in-game tension going on. The sound continues for about 5 realtime minutes, and seems to coincide with choppy frame rates. The only fix I've come up with is to turn my volume down to the bottom. Even then, the sound is so loud that I can still here it seep through the speakers at minimum volume settings.

I'm running GWX 3.0, and have downloaded the newest drivers for my soundcard. The bug was present before I installed GWX, and I had somewhat hoped that the mod might fix/remove the bug, but apparently it has not.

During my brief experiment with SH4 (which I'd love to play, but my computer rig runs at a lovely 5 fps or so) I had the same situation, as well.

Is this something any of you have come across? If so, has anyone found a fix?

I did try searching the forum, but turned up nothing. Maybe I was using the wrong parameters or something. I'm sorry if this is a repeat post, I know that's often a pain.

Thanks for any help.
