HijackGMH Posted December 16, 2000 Share Posted December 16, 2000 I have been living with a chattering sound and playback problem ever since I began playing CM. It seems like what one would have when a peripheral is being accessed and the playback and sound stutter. I just noticed that the new beta load leaves an error log on my directory and I wondered if it might help me identify the problem. Specifically, my sound card is a Creative SB Live card, I am running a PIII 450 with 384M ram. My error log says: CPU speed rated at 1631 Sound is NOT Microsoft certified Sound card has memory (K) = 512 K/s download rate to hardware = 0 Software overhead in CPU % = 0 Max # of static buffers that can be mixed = 32 Max # of buffers (static or stream) that can be mixed = 32 Max # of static 3D buffers = 32 # normal sound channels: 3 % CPU usage for standard channels: 0 # 3D sound channels: 9 % Total CPU usage: 0 The rest of the log shows it playing normally. Can anyone spot an anomaly in these first lines of the log? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted December 16, 2000 Share Posted December 16, 2000 Nope , that is all correct for your sound card and system speed. Are you using the Liveware 3 drivers? Have you tried going into your sound properties control panel and reduce the level of Direct Sound Acceleration one notch down to STANDARD ACCELERATOIN? I have seen that clean up stuttering sound in many games. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
