Weird Sound Issues

[Denny]

Every once and awhile when i play on a map with alot of bots/players my sound cuts out periodically when i enter areas with a couple bots or at random.

It's weird because it'll cut out temporarily and then return for awhile after i die and respawn then it'll turn off again when the above events take place again.

The sound completely cuts out during these times and i'm not sure why it's doing that. Anyone got any suggestions?

\snd_restart

My older rig used to do this all the time on mp_beach, when there was a lot of players on the map. If you have an older sound card, or are really taxing your system (lots of bots/humans/whatever on the screen all near each other) this can happen. The cmd above should fix it.

Thanks mal, i'll give it a try. It's not that i have an old sound card (mine is an Audigy 2) but i can see the system taxing being an issue.

\s_stop works too and doesn't reload the map.

you may try upping your com_soundmegs in the config to 32 (if you haven't already).
