Since I have download SP2 the sound on Halo goes in and out. It sounds normal until you shoot a gun and then it seems like its muffled for a sec or two and the sounds normal until you are done shooting. Anyone experienced this problem and know how to fix it?

Thanks
Mike

I have the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 THX version. I dont think halo would be a problem. Besides I never had this problem with SP1. Just until I downloaded SP2 recently here.

okayw ell, personally sp2 doesnt do nething for me, i use my own stuff, and i dont use windows nemore, its too unstable and crap. get linux :D give it a go, its FREE!!!! and penguins dont bite :d
also, u could just uninstall sp2 or do a sytem restore if its that bad.

have u tried reinstalling sound drivers and halo?

Heyyo,

EAX audio system is a special soundcard driver that makes the game sound really cool. Like, if you're inna hollow corridor and you shoot your guns, it simulates how it would sound if those walls were real, so in this case it would ego with some increase base and a bit of muffling.

So yeah, dude? if EAX audio system is doing this? it's probably working. :p

Try walking outside,and doing the same, shouldn't echo.

Now, sound blaster's seem to hate HaloPC, so make sure you're on the latest patch, v1.02 fixed a critical soundblaster error, so if you're on pach v1.05 or v1.06 then you should be fine.

I have a sound blaster audigy gamer, and mine does work fine in eax.. usually...

Now with me sound blaster, the latest drivers actually suck with me soundcard, so be careful yourself. ;)

I got it working correctly. Just went to SB website and did a couple downloads and its works great now. Thanks

EAX - youll find it in the audio options on the game. turn it on if you can. makes the environmental sounds better
