albo18 0 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hey there, I just installed VC, and the game runs great, except for one minor issue: Any sounds in the game echo, it's like they're in a tunnel or something. I'm running it on a Toshiba Satellite 1100 Notebook. I more than hit the requirements. My sound driver is an Avance AC97 Audio driver, and it's fully updated. Any insights/solutions? Thanks a lot Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf68k 10 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I won't start a rant, I'll just simple say; get a real sound card. AC97 uses software buffering, which uses your CPU to handle it and can slow the perforance of gaming. I've had AC97 and had echoing in some games and video files. After switching to a SoundBlaster Live 5.1 the audio is so much better and no more echoing...unless I use the EAX which I don't, but that's what it's for. Link to post Share on other sites
albo18 0 Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 Sounds like a good plan, but how on earth do I do this with a notebook? I doubt I have room to install it.... Link to post Share on other sites

Wolf68k 10 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 See this is why I made a topic for people to read before posdting their question. I didn't know you had a laptop. In that case I don't know what to tell you. Link to post Share on other sites
albo18 0 Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 If you read the first message it says "I'm running it on a notebook"..... Thanks for the help though Link to post Share on other sites

albo18 0 Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Well, I'm stumped. Get this, I decide to give up and then all of a sudden, VC clears itself up. No more sound problems. I'm calling an exorcist. Link to post Share on other sites
intense_monkey 0 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 i had the same problem, it was my creative play centre thing, it changed the setting to echo, it made every sound echo, i just went into, on the right hand side clicked that job then set to default.
