ET sound issues

by Mztik • 12 Dec 2010, 18:27 • Journals
Once again i'm left dumbfounded by a problem. Simply when I prime a grenade after the first tick sounds get distorted: sounds get quieter and appear to lack bass. This happens even when I'm speccing other people and they do the same. Any ideas folks! ;>

SOLVED:
switching s_prestep 0.02 --> s_prestep 0.05 (default) did the trick!

First your r_mode, then your sound..
You're fucked and doomed. ":D"

Ain't your headset fucked? The input or anything? Is it bugging as well with the normal computer sound?

I blame windows 7.

EDIT:
Normal computer sound is fine, all other sounds are fine. Gonna try random sound settings to see if it helps... ugh

Something in ur cfg is my bet, I've got a similar issue. I hear the first click and the next clicks are far more quiet.

I've played with the same config for years and gotten quite used to it. My previous cfg didn't have this problem.

err try default config, if it still happens: driver settings!

Yep seems to be a config related issue, weird guess this new PC has some issues with my sound settings saved...

have you got on board sound now or a real card?

i've heard of getting rid of the nade ticks but not reducing all game sounds :!

on-board, when the grenade was passed the first tick all sound effects became quiet (INSANELY annoying)

s_mixahead can cause weird stuff sometimes, even on default value

Playing with it at the moment, in default sound settings sounds work properly but with default mixahead (0.2) things still aren't right

You should only change them if you get sound stutters to be honest. It doesn't actually change the sound.

Why would you change s_mixahead and s_mixprestep :D

Shuki 12 Dec 2010, 18:46
That's why you have the ability to tweak it!

I blame perfo for using non-default values making people think it improves sound.
