CLOD Sound unstable

[ramstein]

COD ... It's just too loud,, I can't tune the sound down... I have tried ito set it lower in the game, but it stays high... in single player and coop... if I set it to the lowest setting it's to low, and i can't hear the engine, if I bump the slider up a tiny bit it goes too loud...

weird...

I have tried all settings... I do use my Logitch USB headset with mic,,
I prefer that over using speakers... but oterwise, I have tried every setting... I flew without TeamSpeak on... and got the same result, if the shound is set too low, then I cannot hear the planes and engines at low rpm, or long distance, if I run the engines up faster, the sound explodes and is very loud... there is no in between, it's either full on or off... not a smooth transition..

and if I turn TeamSpeak on, I cannot hear people talk unless I either let the engine idle, or shut it off. When runing at normal speeds it's full loud... and that will only give me a headache..

same results online or offline, TS on or off...

maybe the ini file is screwed up or something... else...

This is the only flight sim that gives me so many sound problems, the others maybe not perfect, like in regular IL-2 1946, the sound is norma;l looking forward int he cockpit, but if I look to either side of the plane the sound goes up.. but at least that's the only screwy thing I can think of with all my flight sims..

I will keep checking stuff (computer stuff..).

Thanx,.

I have still the issue on Mulitplayer servers with exterior view, that I often can't hear the engine sound of other Spitfires. Even when I'm in a Spitfire myself and I switch to a friendly Spit, most of the time I just hear the sound of the wind and no engine sounds at all.
Sometimes the engine sounds are there and then the next moment they are gone again.
This happens only online and I guess also on Full Real servers. In this case it is just harder to tell as you can only hear others from your canopy. But when friendly/enemy Spits passing my view on a FR server I can't hear the engines most of the time, whereas it is definitely possible offline even with your own engine running.

Have you tried the settings in windows under Playback devices? What do you have for Playback Devices>Playback>Speakers (or Headphones)>Properties>Advanced>Exclusive mode? I wonder if you have something there allowing overwriting of game/windows settings?

Also (although shouldn't have any effect if you aren't running TS), check the Communications tab, make sure Windows is set to Do Nothing.

I am looking for these settings in Win7... the Windows help is up to it's old tricks leading me through bs....

I found these settings you listed,,

I had both items checked:
1)allow applications to take exclusive control of this device
2)give exclusive mode applications priority

I unchecked them both,
let's see if that makes a difference..

thanx..
