Im getting a problem in the cut scenes and it does it on the game play trailer on the main menu the sound will crackle and drop out it does it all of the time any one had this problem?


Found out turning vsnyc off fixed the problem some how the cut scenes are to fast to keep up with the sound

Wow, you already picked it up :p Prob won't have any luck with that for a few days as it just released a few hours ago.
 
yer i got mine last night i hope a patch comes out for it or maybe its apart of the game if thats ture that sucks lol
 
sorry i cant help with this, but i was going to buy this but i had to cancel the order as i wouldnt have any money for arma 2. so what is it actually like on pc?
 
yer it not bad bit like GTA4/Spinderman 3 but more fun looks good on my 81cm LCD lol
 
i preodered it on direct2drive.co.uk because on game.co.uk they canceled my order something with bank problem.But anyway i will get it on friday.

Go to your sound options and change the format to 24 bits 44100 hz (studio quality)

Work for me, don't know if you have exact the same problem, but you can try :P

Thanks for the tip, I had the same problem and changing it to the 44100 hz, 24 bits option fixed it, seems a similar problem to CoD 5...
 
where can one change the sound settings, since i have the same problem.

Edit: Nvm i guess you can only change it on vista, guess ill wait for a fix of some kind

It's not possible to go from 5.1 to 2.0 stereo on XP?
*that is the fix^
 
I found the problem running the game on 1920x1080p makes the sound crackle and drop out, running it on 1680x1050 the problem isn't there
 
update on this problem with 1920x1080 its caused by vsync turn it off fixs the problem
 
In movies and cutscenes voices are coming only from central channel, so 5.1 output is kinda sucky...
 
sound problem for prototype

hi guys i'm also having problem with the sound for prototype,actually there is no sound at all when i start the game in my case.i know that setting the format to 24 bit and 44100 Hz is the solution but i can't find it. i have an onboard sound card,my motherboard is asus m2n sli deluxe. i tried everything,looked in control panel/sounds and audio devices and i can't find this setting. i also tried downloading the newest drivers for my soundcard but still can't find it. the soundcard model is soundmax . is it possible that i can't play the game because of the card?
thanks :)

Every time I started Prototype, I had to go into audio options and adjust the latency. The first time, 32ms got rid of the crackling, the second time 96ms, and the third time 46ms. Just go through them all until you find the one that doesn't crackle.

It's weird, I know.
 
nop still doesn't work. i guess my onboard soundcard does not support 24-bit 44100Hz. i already ordered this soundcard : CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY. hope this will solve the problem :)

hej m8 unfornatly i have totaly the same prblem as you :( we use same mother board and same sound card (onboard) i looked all through evryething every god dam setting and theres nothing simmilar to that...i also cheacked all ms seting from ingame,i reinstaled the game, updated all drivers still no luck :((

if anyone has some tips pls tell me.
 
I'm sure a patch will fix this problem. Two different sound cards and onboard audio and always the same result of low volume.
 
yes i hope, still my issue is not low value but NO value :(

atm im going through the game with no value its a bit of a pain in the ass but its wort playing.
 
really pisses me off man when i can play the game at full graphics and no sound :O
tomorrow i will have the sound card and i hope it will fix the problem
i'll let you know
