I knew when I built my computer I should've gotten something other than an SB, but i decided not to switch. Well now I'm paying. Apparently the new voice chat patch has a problem with Sound Blasters and other select cards. Can't even log in and stay in for 1 minute without crashing.
Blizzard gets rid of 1 problem and makes 8 more :(
Errors: My anti-WoW
turn all sound off?
Tried it, but it failed :( Posting on the wow forums and will post the solution if there is one incase anyone has this problem too.
About 10 years ago or so when the sound blaster live! was first introduced, they also had a value card for around 40.00. Creative was THE sound card to get back then. I had my card for around a year or so and went to download the newest drivers and creative wanted me to PAY for the software updates. Ever since then I have never given them a second thought.
Does your motherboard have integrated audio? If so, you can just disable the creative card and use that.
That's what I did also, doesn't work :( $20 sound card vs onboard audo = lose.
I'm running a Creative AudioPCI (ADI 1373 chip) which is an ancient card (circa 1998) and having zero issues. Using the native XP drivers for it. Are you by chance running Vista?
lol you must have terrible quality sound
Nope using Windows XP Pro, and the sound is great but the mic on it sucks. I have to used the onboard audio for my mic, or else every few minutes it will just go SHCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and make everyone deaf.
I believe all the issues are to do with EAX, EAXHD and AdvancedHD. All proprietary Creative technlogies designed for hardware audio aceleration.
Turn of EAX in your Creative Sound Panel - and force WoW to use Software Sound. How you do this I am unaware... but try.
