Can't hear pings/nukes/com hurt?

Postby errorblankfield » 04 Jan 2014, 05:44

Fun question that searching didn't solve- since upgrading computers I can't hear ally pings, nuke firings, or 'Command under attack' warnings.

What setting to I need to mess with to fix that?

And everything in the audio panel is maxed and a cursory glance on other settings just didn't help.

All audio settings are still maxed.
And it's a fresh install (new computer).

So that didn't fix it.

I even turned all the VO off and turned it back on again.

Anymore thoughts?

i guess your soundcard is bringing it over more than two speakers..
force it to use 2 speaker, not 4 or 5 or whatever.
you know it, when you also do not hear some sounds that you hear when you select the mexes for instance.
the bass is not so intense as before and so on...
i mean, this could be the problem..
the ping you are waiting for goes through a channel you have not connected your speakers to.

p.s.: are you using an old soundcard like the soundblaster?
maybe then you should use a driver like the KX Manager..
the (new) drivers from realtec can not handle the new codes (i guess so).
