The Hunt sound issue on win 7 [chernaya metka/traque]

Postby stonezone » Tue Jun 27, 2017 11:25 am

hello, new to this forum so not sure if this is the right board for this. sounds such as the radio dialogue in the car at the start play all at once, all blaring over eachother. the same happens when i wake up the first day, and i assume it persists throughout the whole game. does anyone know of a fix?

edit for posterity: french iso off legendsworld with dsm english patch, amd 6100, 16gb ram

@stonezone

It is because of incompatibility between Audierie API (game sound engine) and OpenAL.
EAX is an extension to DirectSound3D. Since support for hardware accelerated sound ended with WinXP, EAX is software emulated, its wrapper translates DirectSound3D calls to OpenAL.
And here comes the problem: Audierie API is DirectSound3D caller in this game...

Fortunately, serious audio errors hapens only twice, at the game start :)

To avoid audio and game performance issues:
- Run the game in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode.
- In game configuration panel turn off both hardware acceleration and EAX.
