well simon, If you are using a realteck sound card, then you are
either using realtech97 or realtech hd.
there are 2 versions of the codecs.
go to realteck.com and search for the devices.
You probably have the standard card.
Just download and install.
Ofcause faulty hardware could be the issue, and the only way round
that is to get a new motherboard.
Fortunately an external card or one that fits in your pci slot in
your box may help and you can kill the defective chip in bios with some help.
If you play the sounds with winamp by using wave out instead of
directx you may have a better result, as dsound likes to fade in and
out, I had the same issue on my end.
So anything that uses direct sound I switch.
sod has done this with software buffers being switched off where
short sounds don't play.
A lot of the older games are for the older style sound cards.
I have issues playing teraformers on this hd card.
In one of the rooms in the ocean it continues to go on for ever
though I know if I play normally on a standard analog box it will run right.
Ofcause does it happen with everything including speakers, could be
faulty hardware.
One thing to note is that some of the drivers or cards before 2.0 say
1.8 would clip quite badly and from 2.0 to 2.5 there was still some
clipping in the card it seems to have got a bit less now.
also upgrade your directx and stuff to the latest by going to google
and searching for directx runtimes.
this should help for starters.
if not, do a defrag, a chkdsk and use disk cleanup or ccleaner to
clear your junk check if anything is running you don't need to, etc
as this can intifeer.

hello all,
am hoping someone out there can give me some help, to hopefully sort
out a couple of strange, but rather irritating audio problems that I
am having, mainly with some VI audio games.
the first, is that on some games, I get no sound at all. I have run
the directX diagnostic tool, and think I have found where this
problem may be, as when testing the sound, it is fine, until it gets
to sounds coming through a hardware buffer, then the sound won't
play. the annoying thing is, that the program doesn't give any ideas
of how to fix this problem.
the second, is that in some other games, and in winamp also, the
very beginning of a sound doesn't get played, or if it is very
short, the whole sound. for example, a menu item that should say
"new game" will come out like "ame"
I hope I have explained that clearly.
machine is running XP pro sp3, has a core(TM)2 duo CPU, with 3gb
memory, and the usual standard built in realtec soundcard.
Simon
