Messed up sound
« on: March 02, 2008, 02:13:21 am »
I don't know why but on this new computer I don't get the sound of PS to work normally. There for some reason is a lot of static in it. Now first I thought I simply had an error while downloading and decided to simply turn of sound and wait for the new update that I knew was coming soon so kinda pointless to download it again. But now i am starting Steel Blue and same statis in the music ad the starting screen.

Is there anything I should check? Definately no wiz with this kind of stuff so any help would be helpfull.

Don't have any problems when playing any other music so not sure what to look for.

You're just now getting static? I've had it forever. That's why I keep my sound turned off now.

On my computers, it has to do with onboard sound. With the comps with the onboard sound, it has static for the first ~5 minutes and then it stops.

God, I can't wait for the servers to come back up. I haven't played since 0.3.012.

hmm not on the other computer it worked fine and all other games or music I have no trouble. Just the sound from Planeshift has static in it and it is quite annoying.

Some of the sound effects like from the furnaces sound like static.

Try adjusting your volume knob back and forth a few times. For some reason, that clears up the static for me.

I have static too, but for some odd reason *only* when I'm listening to a CD. If I'm listening to MP3's it's just fine. And it only happens with PlaneShift.
