How do I fix the audio problem?

[Bizwiz]

It's just constant loud static noises.

I gave a solution in this thread, it is an eax problem

If you go to the documents folder you will see that there is a folder with the name ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 Other Profiles, open the ArmA 2 Other Profiles folder and you will see a folder with your ArmA 2 nickname, you enter that folder and you will see a file with the name; your nick.ArmA2Profile

Inside that file look for the following lines

soundEnableEAX = 1;
soundEnableHW = 0;

try disabling EAX by setting it to 0, you can also try enabling hardware soundEnableHW = 1;

maybe it will work.

obviously if you don't have those lines, you have to add them 

cheers

It does not let me open the files.

try use the notepad, right click open with... or open notepad then open and search that file

[Bizwiz]

What's Notepad?

[GHOST]

It is a small application integrated in all versions of windows

[Bizwiz]

Do I just add the code in at the bottom.

Well, I have tried everything to fix the game. I think I should just get a refund.

Surely it will be the best for you, according to the questions you have asked, it is obvious that it is not in your possibilities to solve the problem.

I just found out my Operation arrowhead worked and it had all the base-game content.

That's right, if you have ArmA2 and ArmA2 Operation Arrowhead, you don't need to run ArmA2, you must run ArmA2 Operation Arrowhead, then it runs as ArmA2 Combined Operations, all ArmA2 + Operation Arrowhead content.

ArmA2 + ArmA2 Operation Arrowhead = ArmA2 Combined Operations 😉

I don't know where you looked for help, I know it was neither in the official forum nor in the official discord, because no one has asked there.

Read my response (read the complete text) the aswer is there
