Sound options in UT2003?

**GrayCalx** · 10-01-2002, 04:02 PM

I just got UT2003 and had recently put in a SoundBlaster Audigy. Well... I know nothing about sound options, whats the best one to put it on, and what are the differences between them?

I think they are software, hardware, hardware + EAX? Does that make sense? I've heard software was better, but I'd think you'd want to take the stress from the cpu and put it on the sound card right?

thanks

hardware + EAX.

I wouldnt go about making the recommendation just yet CE, not that I am saying the card cant do it. I have been hearing alot of Nay say about UT2k3 (even for a finished product) so I wouldnt expect even the sound engine to be up to spec. You can go ahead and run it, but I wouldnt expect to be wowed.

I do have the game, you know?

It runs fine for me with those options.

For those with a less robust computer and need every FPS they can get, use the lowest sound settings possible as enabling EAX will lower your FPS dramatically.

I noticed with the +EAX option after a few games I'd get a squealing type sound out of the speakers. I don't know if this is my speakers or the card OR the game. So i backed it to hardware, and it sounds fine. I'm going to try the new Audigy drivers and see if they help.

Question : Would surround sound in this game be available at all levels? I only have 2.1 speakers but i'm thinking of getting 4.1 if i get these sound issues resolved.

5.1 generally constitutes surround. If it's available, it might work in 4.1...
