Battlefield 2 - Sound-Volume Problem

[kosmiq]

The game browser could ofc be somewhat fixed now, rarely uses it anyway as I only play on my fav servers.

However, the last time I used the ingame browser it was very buggy. Selecting different options made it stop working and a restart was required, while the demo browser worked perfectly for some reason. The demo browser even had favorites wich was added later with a patch in final...

I think that 1.21 is a step forward atleast, I only wish EA could write down ALL changes instead of the bigger ones. I have noticed that they have rebalanced AA again. It is at a much more balanced level now and should be left as is. The Clear! Clear! Clear! bug with medic still exist though.

The thing with limited claymores is sweet, 1.2 was insane with that. Even though it got me Expert Explosives I didn't like it tbh.

Glitches in this game will always exist as it should been in development a few more months IMHO. But I still enjoy it alot.

As for the thread subject, why not change the module in community options and change it to SF before joining a map, that worked perfectly for me while I still was playing SF.

It's easier to simply click on the map/server. The game also quit and restart. But it don't recognize the sound-settings.
OK. Seems there is no real solution.
As i asked before, do you get the "problem" also.

No, I dont.
I dont have onboard sound tho, I have an audigy 2 platnium sound card.

No idea if I have the problem. I select "same mod" in the browser and very rarely play SF anyway.

Will a seperate Soundcard be so much better. My onboard sound is 7.1 and EAX compatible.

Well IMO almost all built-in soundcards sucks. Why? Because they are made of cheap components, uses CPU power to create sounds and the general quality of them are often bad.

I know of only 2 kinda good built in soundsolutions. The first one i Soundstorm that was about the same level as the Audigy 1. The second of is the SB HD Live! built into a few MSI m/b afaik.

The one used on Asus NF4 series is not good enough for me atleast. Thats why I got an X-Fi ExtremeMusic...

And even if the onboard sound looks flashy on the paper it rarely lives up to it. But I guess it is mostly about demands and what you have to compare with. If you think the built in is sufficient, don't put money into a separate one.

Avoid those Realtek integrated "sound cards" whenever you can. The AC97 was bad, and I see no reason why the others in the Realtek series would be better. (I agree with kosmiq: cheap is usually bad... )
