P4P800 MB SoundMax Sound problem
Hi,
Not sure if I should post here or in Microsoft FS newsgroup, probably more help here for the problem I'm having. I'm getting lots of strange sound-problems with built-in P4P800 (bios version 1012) SoundMax sound, but only with one application, FS2004, stock install. The (integrated) sound is excellent in all other applications. Problem occurs flying close to (or inside) heavy cloud-formations. Frame-rate does drop a bit (normal for FS9) near/in clouds. Sound is great, and deteriorates only in clouds. Flying in clouds, the sound gets terrible, lots of nonstop clicking/popping noises. Sounds such as ATC (aircraft controller voice transmissions issuing commands), start to slow down; Whereas out of clouds, ATC-voices sound fine. ATC-voices are popping/clicking, and the 'speed' of the ATC voices slows down (no strange distortion in the quality, just the speed in which they talk). It might take 2x longer for ATC to say something while flying in clouds, compared to normal speed. I tried slowing down sound-card (DX acceleration, and BIOS PCI-PnP Latency (from 64, to a minimum of 32). No fix there. Soundmax sound-card seems to be fixed on IRQ-17, and no (visible) conflicts. XP Device Manager won't allow a change/customize IRQ setting. I have Intel 3.02GHz CPU, 1GB of twin Corsair CAS-2 ram, and Geforce FX5900se video-card, no devices in PCI any slot, XP-pro with all critical patches. Any idea how to get rid of this annoying sound problem, or at least isolate it? Thanks! p.s. Doesn't matter where I set cloud-level details (highest or lowest) in FS2004, sound problems still occur. p.s.1 Before this computer, I ran FS2004 with an Athlon 2000+, and Fortissimo 7.1 video card. Frame-rates were terrible flying near FS2004 clouds, but never any sound pops/clicks, nor any problems with ATC speech slow-downs. |

Maybe your karma is with AMD CPU.
