I'm having a problem with halo, I've had it for quite some time now. My PC is a fresh install, fully updated with drivers, window updates, etc
p4 2.4ghz
512 mb ram
128 mb radeon 9600
80% space free on the HD.
Soundblaster live!
Basically its a dell dimension 4600 with a new vid card
my problem is that when playing halo (and not any of the other 75 games I have laying around) the sound is staticy and scratchy and usually results in certain bits being cut out. When the game starts the music is fine, in game the sound is fine until alot of stuff starts going on at once (i.e. when you charge up your shields at the beginning and alot of sounds play at once, the guy talks, you charge up there is a field) it starts to scractch. Anytime I try to fire the assault rifle and there is other sound it scratches and voices will cut out (like if your AI is trying to say something) sometimes even during a cut scene the sound will scratch (not usually, but sometimes)
I have no idea whats causing this at all. this is about my 5th install my first being like last summer.. I seem to recall it working fine then as I was able to play through to the end no problem.. but each subsequent install has resulted in this. Is there anyway it could be related to the video card? I think I have the latest catalyst drivers for that card... I think I only played the game from one install while I had my old geforce4 440 mx 64 mb 8X AGP. Please help this has been a long problem, and I haven't been able to play halo for quite some time because of this.
