screaming and enemy casting spells (Only Sometimes) most of the time if I pull out my sword and hit a wall all I hear is the sound of somthing hitting the wall, not the sword itself i.e.

I get this exact same thing, despite the game crashing constantly, that isn't a problem for me, I'm sure everyone else gets it, my friends do anyway, but if I'm in area with alot of sounds, like trees, in a battle, ect, I can only hear very main sounds i.e. I don't know much about resolving sound problems, but let me know what information about his system I could check that could help. I don't know exactly how or why his audio problem was solved (I though it may have been from better onboard sound/better drivers).

I will try to find out the model numbers of his motherboards and the drivers he used. He didn't even attempt to reinstall or repair windows.

#Oblivion audio files software#

Other than installing the drivers for his new motherboard and video card, he did not change any of the software on his rig. After his upgrades he had no sound issues in Oblivion.

He upgraded his power supply and video card (from an ATI x1300 series to an x1900 series card), he also changed his motherboard from a budget ECS motherboard to a decent Gigabyte motherboard (he used onboard sound for both configurations). My cousin ran Oblivion on an Athlon 64 rig and he too experienced the same problem: certain sounds effects were omitted while he played the game. I LOVE THIS NEW CARD!!Īlthough I can't propose a solution to your problem, I can offer an experience I had with the same problem.

#Oblivion audio files update#

Oh as an update I just received my 7800GS and it has brought new life to my computer!!!! I can play Oblivion 1024x768 with absolutely every option to the max (except the obvious HDR lighting and AA, I chose to have the HDR lighting enabled as it looks better imo) I can also play battlefield 2 with every option to the max. I will have try try audio acceleration and lowering the number of sounds played per channel (which sucks because I don't want to lower performance) I can play Call of Duty with EAX enabled and Battlefield 2 without any issues. Yah I have an EMU 1212m, which is a creative product. ini file (although I cant see it there either). I can't see it as an option in the audio menu, but it may be there in some. Is you audio card supporting EAX in some way? and your onboard audio? I ask because of the effects you listed. I did not see you try yet to turn off any audio hardware accelleration, I'd definitely recommend doing that. It's either an Oblivion bug, or a combination of an Oblivion bug + the OS. Seeing option 3 and 4, I do not think your hardware is at fault. atleast until this point)Ĭlick to expand.Weird indeed. Sound CArd: EMU 1212m (Professional Sound Card, which I have had no problems with any game. GPU: FX5900 ultra (going to 7800GS at the end of this week, thank the gods cause I can only play the lowest of low settings right now) AND EVEN THE CPU!Īnyways I dont know what's going on here our my hardware specs: Oh and I can temporarily fix the problem by quiting out of the game completely, then restarting it.ġ) Reinstalling the game (2 times, once before solution 3 and once after)ģ) Updated my sound card to the latest drivers, and reinstalling my sound card.Ĥ) Using my onboard audio card, still receives the same problem.ĥ) Reseating all of my internal hardware, including cables, expansion cards. IE, walking noises (footstep sounds), people talking to eachother (when I ask them to talk to me, I can hear them, but if two NPC's were having a conversation together I can't hear them), any casting spell noises, and some enviroment noises. I should be more specific not all of the sound cuts out just some of the main sound effects. When I'm playing through the game the sound will intermittently cut out.
