Sound Feedback loop locks up GW
Hi All,
I recently build myself a new PC. Ever since then, I've been plagued by a feedback loop sound, that locks up the game. It randomly happens during combat. I have CTR-ALT-DEL to exit. I can then re-enter the game and continue. My PC Specs are: Motherboard: ASUS A8V-XE CPU: AMD 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ RAM: 4x512meg Kingston Dual Channel Video Card: XFX GeForce 8600 GTS 512meg Audio: SB Live! Audio --- On board sound: SoundMAX HD Audio OS: WinXP PRO SP3 DirectX: 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) This happens with either audio as the active one. I remember having this same problem many years ago playing Dungeon Seige. But by upgrading my PC128 card to the SB 5.1 ,the problem was solved. I put that same card in this PC once the on board sound device started giving me this problem. But this time it's not solving it. I would apreciate your help. TIA Sir Iceman |

To use the SB Live! you should first uninstall and disable the SoundMax HD audio.
Windows will use only one detectable sound device correctly. It can work with two, but I have never seen it work well for very long. |

Try forcing GW.exe to run in only one core. Search these forums for info on how to do it and/or software that will do it for you.

Kzake is right. Gw has issues with dealing with certain SB HD audio drivers. Had the same with Audigy and Audigy 2

KZaske,
This seems to have done the trick. I've been in & out of the game today and have had no trouble at all. Thanks! I apreciate it. Sir Iceman |
