Hardware Audio Lag

    Hello,

    I recently purchased a Blaster Live 24-bit sound card for BF 2142 to hope to gain some performance and sound quality. I was looking forward to being able to enable EAX as well.

    The problem is, with the sound card, when I enable 'Hardware' for my audio renderer, it kills my performance. I was always under the impression that a sound card took work off the processor and increased performance. If I was to select a 'Software' renderer for my audio, I wouldn't be using the capabilities of my sound card and wouldn't be able to enjoy EAX.

    Have I simply done something wrong?

    Do you have and integrated Audio card?

    If thats the case you will first want to disable it in your System BIOS.

    Second could you post the exact model of your new sound card because I think it might be a drivers issue.

    Good Luck...

    Thanks for the fast reply.

    The model is SB0410. I'm using the drivers that came with. Also, as far as I know I disabled my onboard in my BIOS (audio 96 or something or other)

    Check in device manger and make sure there are no yellow exclamation points.

    To access:

    1. Start
    2. Control Panel
    3. System
    4. Hardware Tab
    5. Device Manager

    Is it only the one game or are others having an issue too?

    No issues in device manager.

    Counter-Strike Source is doing much worse as well. 20 odd frames less.
