Horrible sound

[Rob Son of Paul]

Matter of fact I haven't noticed any missing sounds with the new DX either!

Though as reported before, I have to turn off EAX to rid the echo.

Of the 10 download options on the link above, the only one I see referring to DirectX is

"Download details: DirectX Redist (November 2008)" Is this what we want?

No reference to DirectX9. Can you give us a direct link to the download? What version should we download?

I tried the dx download and nothing changed.

I tried adjusting the acceleration slider in dxdiag and, again, nothing changed.

I have a separate EAX options screen and "audio effects" is unchecked. I can't seem to find anything else to indicate that EAX would be enabled. I just can't seem to get rifle sounds. They are there, just muted and with a horrible echo.

However, to test my changes after the dx download, I jumped into the brigade tutorial for a quick fight. Alas! Something did change. When I open up the tutorial, Cutler is standing on the Day 1 battlefield SW of the Lutheran Seminary and he is the only person on the battlefield. :silly:

I ran Blood in the Run and it works fine, so I hope that none of the other scenarios have gone FUBAR. I also have a save of the tutorial if anyone is interested. I also ran it again with the same messed up result.

There is clearly some confusion and uncertainty here ----for all of us computer nerds would someone with the knowledge please provide some comprehensive and clear step by step instructions for acquiring and installing the right DirectX download.
Many thanks.

I don't know why, but the link has changed.

Download -> Run -> Install.

Anyone know how to turn off EAX in Vista please? The updated DX helped sounds apear in the game for me but I still get Very eco muted sound that doesn’t seem right.

EDIT: Oops, wrong link.
The EAX option should be part of your sound card settings.

Most likely in your sound card's mixer.

Re the Directx install--is it Dxwebsetupexe or DirectX_feb2010_redist.exe that we need.
Apologies but not sure which is correct.
Thanks
