Sound causes choppy graphics

Hello,

 

My GTA SA has beenhaving some frames issues, and since i could'nt stand it anymore, i tried everything i could.

I notably noticed something, if turning down resolution, draw distance and FL etc didn't resolve anything, turn off the sound REALLY makes a difference.

 

I DLed lastest sound drivers and did a couple of the things on the "collected audio tweaks fixes" topic, but none of this worked.

 

Does anybody know what this could come from?

When posting a problem, be sure to include the following information about your computer:

 

    * Operating system (XP users: be sure to mention if you have SP1 or SP2)

    * Video/Graphics card type + graphics memory

    * Processor

    * RAM (random access memory)

 

This will help us to identify the problem.

The CPU will have to work more because the sound is turned ON, especially with the EAX feature.

 

How you managed to turn off the sound?

Intel Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz

1go Ram

Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT 128mb

 

XP SP2

 

 

To turn the sound off i just go to audio options and set the fx and radio levels to minimum

 

thx for your time

Well your system is fine, (your CPU isn't great but should run it okay) I had the same GFX card as you and SA worked perfectly. Might be your graphic card drives. Or you might have faulty hardware, a virus, or a currupt installation of GTA SA. Scan your system for a virus, defrag your HD and reinstall SA. Post back your results. smile.gif

I think the sound card still has to work with the CPU even after doing that. Not sure though...

Did you ever set the Visual FX Quality to LOW? The resolution should be set to 640x480 16-bit, and the draw distance to the absolute minimum.
