BF2 USB Headset distorted sound

[CoolHandPuke]

Hi guys and thanks in advance for any help with this, its driving me mad.

Ok so I had BF2 working fully no problems whatsoever, decided I would like a new headset so bought the TRUST 6200 5.1 dolby surround Headset.

Now as I am aware this product does not use my onboard sound card and has its own internal sound card.

Has worked perfectly for films other games but BF2 is just Horrible very load popping and crackling sounds on the start uo sequence and during game.

Almost unbareable, so come on u techies whats my problem??

running latest DX update
amd 64 athlon 3500+
756 meg ram
6600gt nvidia BFG card overclocked to 545/1140 (525/1050) stock
my 3500 is also over clocked using the asus A8V deluxe on board 10% overclock feature

Umm

I dont really know, USB headsets are a bad idea... as they often generate this type of problem. Ill ask my friend tomorrow about USB headsets -- They are all he uses because his onboard died and he wont buy a 'sound card' xD

Hes bought 3 different USB headsets and they all glitch up one way or another. One, only the right speaker works unless you change it to mono... But then its mono...

If you go with a normal 3.5mm jack its a little more reliable

Cant really tell if its the hardware (headset) or software (drivers), or compatibility with the game.

But its just a headset, so what the heck? It should just work... shouldnt it?


The only real information I can give you is look for different drivers. Even if you are using the most recent one, try older versions. Im not sure on drivers for headsets though... Just seems like an oxymoron to me


I use a plantronics .350 headset, a 26$ headset... Works great, great pickup low (no?) feedback, gets VERY loud and has good bass


~and sorry for such a delayed response... I dont think anyone here pays attention to the battlefield support forum. I wonder why we even have one

This would have qualified for the general technical support forum, which might have got a few more hits. But im sure someone has seen it and just didnt know what to say. I certainly didnt. But we arent ignoring you

Great a constructive but (forgive me) not particularly supprising reply.

It does seem very much a BF2 problem every other game workd fine.

I have been made aware that as I am no longer using a sound card that I might want to look at the DX sound hardware acceleration and reduxe it as USB headsets apparently are not able to use hardware acceleration.

Was not going to do anything till I had some feedback from someone with more knowledge.

but I find it strange that it only happens in BF2 works perfectly with all other top titles and as this is my first USB headset I have nothing but love for it.

The sound quality and dolby 5.1 surround with built in sub etc. is immense the overall benefits while playing games like Americas Army is astounding as you can pretty much here exactly which direction gunfire and footsteps are coming from.

Major advantage and when a flashbang goes of in your ear WOW my whole head vibrates.

Anyway anyone else that can add to this would be greatly appreciated

HAHAHAH That would be annoyng!

But yeah, my friend just bought another USB headset :nuts:

It sounds fine through MSN live call but when hes on teamspeak it had this really loud sound like a helicopter and generated feedback... It was wierd... I dont know how he fixed it yet he doesnt remember he just changed random settings trying to fix it.

Guess that wasnt very helpful... But anyway

Good luck fixing it, if you havent already. I am clueless. Might want to contact EA (LOL WHAT A JOKE)
