"I.i.i.i ne.e.e.ed ba.a.a.ack u.u.u.up!"
The same problem appeared out of nowhere with no obvious reason with my old PC and BF2 - buying a new graphics card made it disappear, until then I was only able to play with the lowest graphics settings.
Until now I only say it happens in BF2142 as I have no other game installed yet.
Every sound (video, music, menu sounds ingame) works fine - I think even the weapon sounds - but voice (ingame sounds, not VOIP, I am not using it) is stuttering for any setting other than software sound - on Hardware it is irrelevant if I set sounds to low, medium, high, EAX on or off etc.
Also Teamspeak seems to make problems as long as I am in the 3D part of the game, back in the menu it is working fine.
New PC, system is 2 days old, drivers should be correct, fans (still) clean.
Core 2 Duo E8400 3.00GHZ
P5K/EPU S775 P35 ATX DDR2
DDR2 2048MB (2X1024) PC1066
Sparkle GF8800GT 512MB PCI-EX
Creative SoundBlaster AudigySE
Samsung 500GB SATAII
LG DVD-Brenner SATA
Enermax Netzteil 500Watt ATX
This afternoon I will again try installing drivers and test other 3D games.
I will switch to my old SB Live as well to see what happens.
Considering the problem under BF2 - why should changing the graphics card make the sound work right?
My old graphics card had two power lines connected to it, the new one only one - could it be the PSU not supplying enough power on just one line?
I will also try another PSU, but I would like to rule out any other possibility first.
