Sound Effect Problems

[Clarity]

While playing the last expansion I had trouble with the sound effects cutting in and out. After some research I was told that it was my sound card and that Crate had not yet released a fix. Is this still a problem or was it fixed for the newest expansion. I don't want to drop more money into this if they can't be bothered to fix a sound bug.

Flawless logic there. Because sound card drivers and motherboard drivers (which often interact with sound drivers) never have bugs of their own. But sure, lets get Crate to get on the phone with them and write their driver bug fixes for them.

I used to have cutting in and out issues for a long time (system-wide and in GD and other games). I recently nipped it in the bud thanks to a massively long overdue (years) driver patch that I also had to jump thru hoops to get installed properly. Nevermind having to actually find it and find out about it.

But you're right. It's Crates problem. Not theirs. High-five?

My Sound card is a Xonar DX. The sound problems I mentioned are similar to these:

I don't have any noticeable problems with other games I play. I want to know if there is a different solution so I can enjoy the game I already bought and possibly buy the expansion.

So, first link: User resolves it by doing something in the "Xonar" settings.

Second link: User resolves it completely by replacing his "sh***y" Xonar card with something better.

Third link: More Xonar.. pretty much tells you what to expect.

My question is.. if you more or less knew this stuff that clearly indicates it's an issue resolved by Xonar themselves, then why did you type:

..essentially laying the blame at Crate's feet for something they have no control over? That's a bit of a**hattery there.

As for workaround's I used Google to solve my audio issues.. I have a Realtek card though.

The best I can do to get you on the road to recovery is to show you how to start your journey.
