Sound Problems in OFP

[33BO11OF00]

Help! I have sound problems in OFP game. When I start mission music and all sound stop.
My other games work just fine but this game locks up every time.

My hardware config is:

Ram :2048MB (2GB)
Display card :ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series
Sound card : Creative SB Live! (CT4620) Sound card
Motherboard :ASUS P4S533-MX
Chipset :SiS 651

I hope this info helps for solving this problem.

Sorry for double posting but in some other sound threads contain this advice:
If you install new sound card or display card you have to re-install OFP.
Dang! Is this ONLY hope here?

It could be related to directX. Click the start button and select run. Then type in the box "dxdiag". This will run the diagnostic tool, when it finishes click the sound tab and see if it shows any errors.

Zulu1:
Dixdiag test runned. No errors there.

Did you change any hardware in your pc and/or did you install new drivers for the hardware? If so, have you tried the "Autodetect" button in the preferences executable?

New errors on screen. OPF won't run only showing this text:
Bas_o\config.cpp/CfgVehicles/BasAgs_Whouse2.ladders : "," encountered instead of ";"

What does this means?

What is difference between these four .EXE files
OperationFlashpoint.EXE
OPFlashPreferences.EXE
and
FlahpointPreferences.EXE (With this EXE all sound problems corrected.)
FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE

Question:
Does OFP run on windows 7? Because I'm getting a new computer soon.

What is difference between these four .EXE files
OperationFlashpoint.EXE <CWC 1.46, pre-Resistance expansion>
OPFlashPreferences.EXE <CWC 1.46 preferences, pre-Resistance expansion>
and
FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE <1.75 and upwards, Resistance expansion>
FlashpointPreferences.EXE (With this EXE all sound problems corrected.) <1.75 and upwards, Resistance expansion>

BAS_O is related to a BAS addon, BAS_O comes with the Tonal mod if I remember correctly. Either you are missing a required addon, or you tried to edit a file from BAS or a mission and forgot to properly close the syntax (either forgot the ";" or something was added after the ";"). It could also be a bug in that addon, but I have played with BAS addons for years, so I am fairly sure that it's not a bug in the addon itself. Could also be that you're trying to run Resistance-era addons from BAS with just CWC, although you should get a mention about the version before any error message that you are getting.

Yes, no problem.

I don't want to hijack some elses thread, but I've been battling a sound problem lately.

The problem is internal vehicle sounds are like being underwater and the timming is slowed down (like slow motion). After playing around with drivers I can now get the proper sound if I switch to an external view then back to internal. This could be a problem with 3rd view being disabled in MP play.

What does anyone know about video cards with high definition audio? I recently switched to an ATI HD5670 and it adds an AMD HD Audio driver which I currently have disabled. Would this be related to the problem at all?

Thanks

I've had a similar problem for years, ever since I switched to a surround sound capable card (I have the relevant settings disabled ingame, they don't sound any different). Single fire mode on any weapon in the primary slot is soft, then I switch to another firing mode, hit the fire button at least once and then my sound is the volume it should be from then on until I restart or retry. Sound in OFP is just weird sometimes ...

Well at long last after many hours of frustration it seems I have narrowed down the problem. Something in my Zulu1 profile was affecting the sound. I tried playing using a different profile and the sounds all worked correctly. I could not spot anything in the user.cfg file that looked odd, so I just deleted it for Zulu1 and made a new .cfg file now it seems to be OK.



edit: Ok now I have pin pointed the souce of the problem, the only question now is why? With sound/hardware acceleration enabled the sounds get muted and go into slow motion. With it disabled it's fine.

I used to be able to run with this enabled and I just can't figure out what has changed so that I have to disabled it now.
