That has always happened when I played

I knew it was gonna be _that_ bug just by looking at the preview on vimeo.

Steps :
-enter a sound volume after the sound has started playing - let's say our sound goes ABCDEFG and we're waiting 2 letters before entering its area.
-instead of hearing it from C (CDEFG), the sound starts from its beginning and cuts when it was really supposed to stop : you hear ABCDE.

Kill someone being out of their death sound's range, then quickly entering the corresponding death sound volume before it's supposed to end.
Shoot a rocket on a wall far away, then quickly enter the explosion's sound volume before you see the explosion fade away.

Same thing.
You could reproduce this on any sound but it's frankly a waste of time when you can easily reproduce it on monsoon's tele or with rockets.

Doesn't seem to be a driver issue, so you'll have to hope id fixes it (they know about this bug), were they ever to patch Q4 again.

And by changing the driver settings number of speakers (if you use headset) to headset instead of 2/2.1 the sound gets a tiny bit shorter and quieter. And people say ID has good openAL support :P

Well creative wrote the OpenAL support IIRC. So that says it all. ;)

Yepp but not having any problems on other titles i have so that's why i brought it up earlier :)

Nice I just got my XFI pro elite soundcard can't wait for this bug!! :>

Just following up I put my new XFI Pro Elite card in and I got this issue yay! Also when LG'ing I noticed sometimes the sound would drop like.. either I would hear the lg but not the hitting of the player.. or the opposite (and I would see my crosshair blink showing im hitting them). Anybody else getting that?

s_maxChannelsMixed 64 or 128 usually takes care of that problem unless you have packetloss to the server. It defaults to 24 which is IMO for legacy cards that struggle with performance when doing lots of voices at the same time. Be aware that CMSS-3D Headphone uses a lot of resources when mixing 128 voices at the same time to create virtual surround, but it is a rare that 128 voices is used simultaniously.

The CMSS-3D feature on audigy2 and older was a gimmick, but it works wonders on X-Fi which is the primary reason to get the X-Fi cards. With good headphones (and decent ingame sound-engine) you can place sounds within 5 degrees both horizontally and vertically which is nice in multiplayer.

Thanks ill have to try this when I get home.

You set creative audio console to headphones and only enable CMSS-3D or do you "cheat", using fake 5.1/71 configuration in Windows/Audio console?

Headphones in audio console and windows. The 7.1 cheat works well in some games but not in others, while headphones works well for me in all games.

thanks, i can finally go to bed now :)

Following up I think that helped alot thanks. ... I had mine set on 24 before.

I don't get any LG bug anymore, back in the old 1.3 days there were some LG "overusing" sounds when you hit the enemy constantly.

but this is fixed, anyway..

LG Sound Bug Is Not Fixed...

for me it is fixed

hax

I have the same thing and solution is:

USE DEDICATED SERVER NOT LISTEN SERVER !

If it not help you then i don't know :-(
