I come to /g/ with a plea for help. I've tried many a thing, including deleting system32, but I cannot for the life of me fix this fucking sound problem. I'll tell you all I've gathered so far..
Issue: When rendering 3D games (both Direct3D and OpenGL) the sound will occassionally distort or cut off entirely, only resolved by quitting and restarting said game.
Attempted fixes: Latest SB Audigy 2 ZS drivers, Latest Nvidia Forceware drivers, latest Intel P965 express chipset drivers, latest updates for DX10 and Vista (ultimate 32-bit), switched from Audigy 2 to on-board AC'97 audio, switched from Nvidia 6600 to Nvidia 8600 GTS (no change), switched from Nvidia 6600 to onboard intel 965 graphics (problem went away, but FPS went to shit), enabled Vsync in games, changed system memory, disabled hardware acceleration for audio including EAX, changed gameplay resolutions (only seems to happen at the res matching my desktop, 1600x1200x32, and since that's my monitor's native res, I'd prefer that res), tried different games (WoW, Supreme Commander, C&C3, HL2, Warcraft 3, all do it).
Possible fixes still include: Going back to WinXP, becoming an hero, ???, profit!
If anyone's experienced this same issue, PLEASE help me, it's the only thing stopping me from enjoying my vistaids.
