GTA San Andreas problems

it has not done this before but now every time i play the game car sounds go in and out and when your doing missions or the like when your talking with someone or on the phone with someone you wont hear whats being said and the caps at the bottom zoom by where you cant read them . anyone else ever have this problem with the game? i don't have no other problems with any other game its just his one. My spec's are in my sig.

 

The only audio problems i've ever had with the pc version of san andreas is i sometimes lose the sound effects:cry and only have music.
Your listed problems has me stumped.:banghead

 

do u have a soundcard? there can be some problems with EAX effects on Creative cards

 

Yea i got a sound card its old but still good its a Sounder blaster PCI512. and it seams all my sounds goes out as well so maybe its the game.

 

does it have EAX? if not then just ignore what i said before

 

I don't know lol

 

Actually that soundcard is known for having problems with many recent games, though that is hard to figure out. Do you have the latest drivers for it installed?
You could also try to diminish the hardware acceleration for the soundcard a notch or more.
To do this go to the start menu, "run", write "dxdiag" and execute it. On the "sound tab", check for a slider called "hardware sound acceleration" or something like that, drag it one notch to the left and exit. If the game still behaves like that try the other positions to the left. This solution works wonders with many games, so you could try it.

 

If you've have read my last post i did say i was losing my sound effects but still would have the music playing and i was running a sound blaster live sound card ut i've not played in a while and i have a new computer and a cmedia 8738 sound card, It has to be a eax sound issue.

 

ok just to clear up the EAX issue here: i was having a similar problem except i had no music and only some effects. i had to turn off any EAX effects (from the Creative EAX Console) kinda like equalizer presets, for it to work properly. if you have EAX you should be able to access the EAX console from the Creative folder in the start menu

 

Excellent work. Easy to understand.
