--- Comment #7 from John P Sims jsims2359@gmail.com 2009-09-29 21:05:02 --- In UT3, I enabled "Hardware OpenAL" and I got sound. In the menus everything sounded good, but once I got into the game, everything went south.
What sound I did get during a match was either oversaturated with echo/reverb or worked fine for 10-15 seconds until this "Woosheeee" sound - like a wave of feedback - blasted out of the speakers followed by silence.
Oddly enough, the exact same thing happened in Frontlines:Fuel of War (I guess it defaults to "Hardware OpenAL") and I thought it was a fluke. Guess not.
Could libopenal have a problem with HDA Intel ALC888? Anyone got a test program?
