Sound lag, need solutions

Sounds form both guns firing and ingame sounds from trigger words cause my game to lag up, either from it caching it or something.

I need solutions / suggestions to either minimize or eliminate this, but have little time to do extensive research myself );.

Have you tried reinstalling? Or maybe update sound card drivers etc..

mkay, didn't take my reply.


Reinstalling was a consideration, not going to do it. It doesn't feel like the kind of problem that a reinstall would fix ( don't ask, it just seems that way).

I remember going through drivers 5-6 months back, cannot remember if I checked the sound, so will check it.

Add to this, any ideas of getting a router to not prioritize wireless connections? Seems like family connecting wirelessly have a defult higher bandwidth that overrides any that I'm allocated :\. Understandably, this makes for poor gaming, and generally degraded surfing for me.

did you try going in game and pressing f8 typing c, hitting space, then pressing enter? That and setting the nur (f8 n space enter) may do the trick, but i doubt it. Worth a shot anyway.

I had a problem with my sound on ren about a month back it was caused by TS i think (not 100% sure but after using it majority of times it would fail audio in ren).. The only way I could fix that was by a system restore to a previous checkpoint or the day before, is that an option you would take?

Ha. I do that often enough, though I doubt I have a restore point going that far back. I've lived with this for some time, but it's gotten on my nerves abunch lately.

Anyway, did a rollback on the driver. I did update though I think it was to some generic driver. I'll test it all out later on.

and ew.. f8. f8's for boobs. ` is so much easier.
But cpo I don't think touches sound, just some simpler physics or something :s.
nur and sbbo I set to max/higher at join.

bigE:
Well it does seem that the driver I updated to was a generic. The rolled back driver does what I've been expecting.
Thanks for mentioning the driver, probably would have taken me a few days to get around to checking it otherwise :p
