Hi guys I've seen some posts that have mentioned that ArmA is having sound problems that suggest it is not operating in directx sound compatable mode. I hope I'm posting in the right area to help others out with this issue.
I've been using Teamspeak while playing with others online and
sometimes we were unable to hear each other because the Tanks and BMP's were so loud that you couldn't hear anyone on teamspeak. I would attempt to adjust the volume levels in the game and the volume of Teamspeak would also be lowered. This might suggest Directx compatable sound mode problems?
However I do have a workaround and it may be a key to the programmers. If you adjust your Music volume up or down (depending on if you want to raise or lower ingame sounds)
it also effects the volume level of the Tanks, Bmp's and other
sounds in the game.
This allowed us to use Teamspeak and be able to hear each other with no problems at all and it didn't change the volume of Teamspeak.
I'm not sure if changing the music volume changes the ingame sounds as a matter of design or not, but this works. I havn't played with the single player mode with these settings, but in multiplay there isn't any music anyway, so it seems to temporarly fix the problem
This was while playing coop and using the 1.01 version of German Downloaded Arma.
