Quake 4 Sound Problem.

Logsi · 10 Feb 2006 at 23:11

Ive just installed Quake 4 again becuase i thought the graphics and cinematics were awesome first time round.Since this time around i have a X-Fi Fatal1ty I changed the audio to OpenAL and EAX 5, it states a warning message syaing latest drivers will be needed to play in OpenAL mode, ive got the latest ones.

I start up the game and theres a horrible sine wave of like a 18khz to 20khz playing through constantly over the top of the game. Has anyone else experience this? This is the only game this has happened to me on.

I dont have this game but maybe there is a game patch to get rid of some bug's, just google for it, assuming you have not done so already that is.

Ive done everything! Updated numerous times.On the creative site they say its to do with the processor not being fast enough. Just got a new through today so ill try it today.

Hi there,

I remember having this problem as well and I found a similar thread in Creative's own forums. The solution I found was to install the latest OpenAL drivers which you can download from here:

After I installed this I could select the OpenAL option in Quake 4 without any problems.

Hope this works for you!

Ray.
