i seem to have a sound related issue with this game. as soon as i launch the game sound freezes and mouse freezes. then it kicks back in after a few seconds. this happens a few times before i even join a game. it also happens during games.

I get this too, but it's not just happening in this game for me, but also in BC2. I have been trying to trouble shoot this one for months. I think this is driver related, possibley gpu driver and sound driver not jiving during graphic intensive games.

This will sometimes occur when you have a lot of sound and graphics activity, such as an explosion together, I thought it could be Physyx related but I am still scratching my head over this one. :confused:

Try checking your audio channels on your soundcard (ie not ingame). I had a performance drop/stuttering and found out my audiochannels had reverted to 2 from 8. When I set it to 8 again its much better again.

Thanks, I will give this a try, although this did happen when I was using onboard sound too, I installed an XFI card ( I know they suck but its all I had), and although it's less noticable and intense the stutter/lag still happens.

I get this same stutter/popping as you describe as well. Even in the main menu. Also the game performs terribly in MP.

ya i tried everything from setting it lower to higher. just seems that this game is not cutting edge enough to cause such trouble. i play nearly every major game and never have trouble i cant adjust for. this game is probably the buggiest ive played.
