I just recently purchaced Halo for the pc, but when I play, the sound is terrible, it is distorted, broken and impossible to make out. I updated the drivers for my Soundblaster Live digital 5.1 soundcard, set the audio to the lowest settings, adjusted properties in the sound settings and nothing seems to help, if anyone knows how to fix this problem or is expieriencing the same thing please help! thx.

alrighty
I had that card, and this exact problem happened to me....heres a secret that probably might work.....
go to the start menu...then programs..then go to the creative and then just go restore defaults
then from there you can start customizing as you see fit


It should work! tell me if it does

ok
try this....go to you your Creative Audio HQ and then go into the speaker option, there is an option box that says "Digital Output Only" go ahead and turn this setting off.

this wasnt initially enabled, but when I did enable it I got no audio at all. Do you think the problem is that i Installed and run the game off of a vcd because im too lazy to use actual cds, i think this might be a problem because the proper codecs might not be installed. If you thik think this might be a problem, tell me, because I don't want to go hunting for the cd if I dont have to.

try going to the www.creative.com, try using their drivers...If that doesn't work then I think your gonna have to return this card and exchange or get a better one maybe?
I think your sound card is a lemon.
