Strange Sound !?

Post by garbel »

Hi,

I have strange sound in Unreal. Have installed v227e. Don't know for how long this problem exists but I noticed it recently.

See (and hear) for yourself:



I have played with "Ambient factor" and "doppler effect" in Sound option (Al-Audio) but with no luck.

Please describe the sound to me (I have too slow connection for YouTube). ;)

Is it something like "flanger" effect? Cuz I get something like that always.

The only visible solution was to switch back to Galaxy. :o

No difference :( Sounds like a doppler effect, but much too strong.

Edit: Yes, HeadShot you were right :) Changing to FMod fixed it, but I forgot to restart Unreal.

Lol my sound card is acting weird... always.

When I run Postal2STP and set to "Hardware Audio", the doppler goes "woah!" and there is no way to lower it.

Gotta buy a new soundcard...

This one is good but not very compatible (it's on-board) so I'm not going to remove it. So, if I buy a new card, I'll post the difference in the sound between this on-board one and the not-on-board one. ;D

hehe that reminds me back to Unreal 1.0 :D

When you killed a bot with the dispersionspistol while the amplefiere was activated the sound pitch changed by walking backward or forward =)

Umm, well, go play Unreal II, it has a very nice doppler effect that adds a lot to the feeling of flying.

Doppler effect = realism
