BF2 Sound Stuttering

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy SE, decent soundcard, hooked up in my pc. When I go into bf2, change the sound rendering mode to "Hardware" (High, EAX) it sounds awesome. But whenever any chat goes on "Hey I need a ride, No Sir, Enemy Spotted, etc" it comes out stuttered.

En-n-n-n-n-n-n-m-y S-p-p-p-o-t-t-e-d-d-d.

Every other sound is perfect, except radio chat.

Any idea why? I have my latest drivers for pretty much everything on my computer.

Disable EAX.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I tried that, but it didn't fix it.

If you're on Vista, I give up.

XP Pro x64, though this problem has also happened on the 32-bit version, and XP Home.

I had this happen to me yesterday. I got the sound set to high (hardware) EAX enabled on an E-MU 1212m card.

Just seemed to sort itself out though, the next time I ran BF2 it was fine again.

Sorry, that's probably no help to you at all.

Tried a bf2 restart, didn't help.

It's wierd, it's only the radio. For example, you can hear enemy (and friendly) solders say "I need a medic here" in the game, but when a commander or squad leader says some radio chat - stutters.

You could always try reinstalling BF2, that helps for most things. Maybe the sound files have just gotten corrupt, or something.

I've tried reinstalling.

I googled a while and saw a few stuff on changing the hardware acceleration of my card. It has 4 levels, levels 3 and 4 give nice sound - but still sutter, while the 1 and 2 levels revert it back to software sound.

I'm completely lost as to what else could be the problem.

I solved this 6 month old problem if anyone else has it. Uninstalled old drivers, driver cleaner pro on all Creative items. Restarted, installed the Creative SBA_PCDRV_LB_1_04_0061.exe driver from Creative.com. Not the most recent driver which somehow works with vista and xp. Plays high/hardware/eax on bf2.

Driver info:
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE and Audigy Value Driver 01.04.0061 and Creative Basic Audio Suite
SBA_PCDRV_LB_1_04_0061.exe

I think threads about this were made before. Try searching.

I did. And rather than create a whole new topic, I simply added to my old one.

Another note, ASIO drivers (asio4all) do not work. I'll figure this out later.
