ripping / tearing sound

[Jamer]

As of lately I somtimes get this sound as if paper is ripped in half is how I best describe it. I've never come across this before. Do I have something to worry about? Is this fixable? Thanks.

Sounds like some of your sound files may be corrupted try verifying Ro

In case you dont know how to verify:
Right click on RO
select "Properties"
click on the "Local files" tab on top
then click on "verify integrity of game cache...."

I usually do that once or twice a week but we'll see what happens, thanks.

well, if you have xfire...

 

[Jamer]

Yea I do have x-fire. How are the two related?

Suddenly I feel like a tool. What am I missing?

 

[Jamer]

Is there no one who can help here. Please this sound is driving me nuts. Do I have to get rid of x-fire or can it be fixed?

Thanks for your time guys.
Good Gaming! ! !

do you have any other VoIP stuff running in the background. First thing you should check is to turn off all other non Steam/RO programs and see if the sound still happens.

Oh snap! the light bulb just went off. I am officially a bolt. lol. Thanks Yoshiro for pointing that out. It just went right by me. I'm usually pretty good about all that and even funny I'm asking how the two are related. x-fire I leave running for some reason. Other times I use it to log on when the master server is down cause I don't use the favourites there. That will more than likely fix it. I do however like seeing what servers friends are on, dam.


In case anyone needs to know so far now........... no problems
