I've been having alot of issues with the sound in eve recently with my audigy 2 zs platinum (garbage) with missing turret sounds and i'm looking to upgrade with a pci or pci-e@1. What non onboard sound cards are you guys using and do you get normal sounds?
Even when i solo l4's i will hear 1/10 of the turret effects and all i hear is my hardeners and an occasional explosion. If i turn audio off and then back on i will start hearing the sounds for all but 5 seconds before it goes back to virtual silence. I was planning an upgrade anyways and i would really like a first hand recommendation from anyone here in the community who has no perceptable sound issues. I want to make my eve experience as complete as possible.
In summary. 1: Do you hear sounds and turrets and other normal combat sounds or is is a quiet vast wasteland even in the most congested of missions? 2: If so what sound card and OS are you using?
Thank you for your time and help to whomever has some suggestions or advise.

Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS
Everything works fine for me. It's an older card that I always transplant to my new machines b/c the XFI sux, and I love the control panels for the card. I usually spend a couple hours calibrating my surround setup and the XFI doesn't have an interface to do it as good as the one for the 2ZS.

After years of issues,(but mostly due to alliance using fail TS)
i dug up my old dual celeron 300a box, ripped out the Sound blaster Live! 5.1 platinum and have been a very happy man since
1) Yes 2) XP 32 or W7x64
Try hitting up a local computer shop or some sort of best buy, give the $5 sound card a shot, may not sound as great on a $200 set of headphones, but at least it makes sound ;)

I have an Auzentech X-Fi Prelude for my gaming and music needs, but it's pretty much the far end of the scale. Everything sounds top notch on it, at least to my ear. If you're having trouble with audio in Eve or other games, with an Audigy 2ZS, I'd first suggest trying to uninstall/re-install (latest) drivers. It's certainly not a lack of audio processing power causing the problem. If the drivers don't fix it, perhaps you could test it in other games.
If it doesn't work in other games, you may have a hardware fault. Try sitting the card in a different PCI slot to see if there's a difference. Do you have on-board sound? If so, perhaps you could temporarily remove the Audigy, enable the on-board chip in the PC's BIOS and see if that works (you may need to install drivers from your motherboard's driver CD). If other games work and Eve doesn't, it may be a driver issue but is likely an Eve specific issue. Try reinstalling the game and/or temporarily moving/renaming your config files so it restores everything to default. If other games don't work, it's a driver, hardware or Windows issue. How does audio sound from a) other games, b) a DVD or c) an MP3? -------------

I use my build in sound now. my ols 2zs was nice but the built in sound on new MB is better. it sounds deeper and has more life to it. Also plug's and plays on me 7.1 creative sound system.
it even lets my front sound pannely thing from the old 2zs work without the card. unless your using sound alot for work or really need stupid amounts of sound related feature's i can see no reason to buy sound cards now.

Most motherboards today have very decent on-board sound. Which is what I use until I can get my hands on a Xonar or the HT Omega Claro Halo blah blah XT. The views expressed by me in my forum posts are in no relation to my Corporation or my Alliance. I swear my cat made me type them. |
