Crash on map entry due to sound
|
Come on it had not happened in a while no every single map i enter I crash due to soundcard. Here are my specs. I enter the portal in lab and down it goes. Happened 5 times in 1 hr. I tried to add "software audio" to properties tag and also added the reg that someone listed on forums. Still crashing!!

Yeah, the same problem here.
Sometimes it crashes just when entering Eternal Laboratory and sometimes when you try enter portal in EL. I lost 2 maps so far due to this problem :( Crashes like this happened before when the game went open beta, but after that it was a smooth sailing until last night. I also have SB X-Fi |

Are you sure you put the arguments after your shortcut properly? You can either use -swa or --softwareaudio but it has to be exact. I find that most of the people who are having issues with crashes are due to Creative X-fi audio. You can also try using -ns or --nosound which will disable the sound but should prevent crashing as well.

I've done 5 maps so far and no crashes with -swa, but the sound is horrible comparing to what it was.
Random crackling noise, most of the sounds are very sharp, but thats what you get with software audio. Anyways, its a temp solution until the problem is resolved. and tnx for the tip Drakier. Last edited by Redemptor#6749 on Apr 24, 2013, 10:19:29 PM
