HELP! soundcard making strange noises

Cryteka · 06-12-2005, 06:30 PM

I recently got a new soundcard, Soundblaster Live! 24bit. When playing farcry with this new card, the audio will suddenly go crazy, producing this mad sound. This occurs everytime I play the game, and happens after a few minutes of playing. I am using 5.1 speakers with hardware mixing and EAX enabled in the farcry options. I have done a fresh install of windows XP, and it still happens.

This noise seems to only come when playing farcry, I play halo PC and joint operations also and it hasnt happened.

After the noise has come and gone, the only audio i hear is the sound of bullits hitting objects.

Does anybody know what i can do to stop this noise, or identify if it is a hardware fault?
