soggywaffles0582 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) It's weird, it happens in certain areas like on the highway out near goodsprings or camp forlorn hope as well as several other places. It tends to happen when loading in or loading out of an area with a lot of people and it never happens indoors, always in the open world. I'll notice sometimes when I run around and I'll jump in the air and when I land the landing sound is delayed a bit, I don't know, it isn't the biggest issue in the world and it's nowhere near game breaking but my friend and I both get this issue and I was curious if anyone else gets it or has a fix for it. Oh and by the way, before anyone asks, yes I have tried uninstalled and reinstalled my codecs and it didn't do anything for me can't speak for my friend though. EDIT wow, I'm so sorry I totally screwed up, can a mod move me to new vegas technical support or can I keep the thread here?

KimberJ Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Configurator Has some audio settings at the end. I don't think you could mess it up except for multitreading audio. We used to never multitread audio. Though I've seen some players using it more recently. So that would be a test one on/off. There's also some performance based mods for FNV, because it didn't run so well when it launched. Runs great now. Stutter remover, 4Gb, an NVSE. You could also update your audio drivers... Well that or start a new game an run around blowing stuff up to duplicate the problem. Always start with duplicating the problem under the same conditions if possible. Hell it could just be a bunch of dirty mods. It would be FNVedit an Loot used together to clean it. What kind of computer or hardware is it, an what does the load order look like? Have you modded Oblivion, Fallout, Skyrim very much. We tend to get better the more we mod it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soggywaffles0582 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Funny you mention multi thread audio, I used to have a lot of problems in game regarding audio that multi threading fixed when I toggled it on, I was having radio and ambient music stuttering when I would leave a house to load into the open world or when I would hack hard terminals. I've tried toggling mutli threaded audio off and it didn't fix the footsteps and gunshots. I have the stutter remover but I don't have 4gb so I'll give that a shot and I'll try fnvedit and Loot. When it comes to oblivion, fo3 and skyrim, yeah I've modded them without too many problems with audio, fallout 3 had a few audio problems but not much, didn't have any audio bugs with the TES games. My hardware, GTX 660 2gb, 8 gb DDR3 ram, amd athlon II x4 651 quad core cpu 2.99 GHz, 1 terabyte HDD and (motherboard) MSI A55M-P33 (MS-7786). I'll update my post with a screenshot of my load order in a few minutes.

KimberJ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 You got inactive plug in's an .esm At least larger load orders would bug an glitch out if there were inactive mods in the data folder. We would assume the same is true for shorter load orders. What are you doing, turning them on an off as needed? lulz It makes me feel like you have a partially corrupted save game. If you just had the vanilla game, you think it would still glitch out the audio? If you didn't know, we actually have to work to get these games stable, certainly with modding them. It's a package deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soggywaffles0582 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Well, you are right that turning mods on and off is something I do a lot and it isn't good for save files, I've had save files go completely bad before, it is something I'm very reckless about and should get better at but I don't believe this is where the audio problems come from. I've turned off all of my mods before, made brand new saves and still had the audio problems persist. Perhaps a complete uninstall/reinstall is needed here, I'll give it a try tonight and report back tomorrow.

KimberJ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) I just came here to look at my new signature, I don't know what the hell you are talking about! :D lol What if you turn the settings down. I know after Oblivion the draw distance sliders are 4 times larger of a distance. I think it was reduced a bit for Vegas, but even still. Sometimes I've played with just 4 clicks on actor draw distance. Most of the time on these games I aim for 25% to 50% of the draw distance bar on actors. For one thing it's not really possible to snipe at them into LOD. This last install I set it to force a full render of the grid I was in, basically a 10k an change draw distance. I lowered the actor draw distance to what I wanted to use. I did this by TFC in the game an then move the camera until the player actor culls (vanishes). Though this can be done tactically on a enemy NPC. You know you got a combat range, an then a sight range were we are just looking for anything. It doesn't have to be maxed, just what you need to play. Edited July 10, 2015 by KimberJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soggywaffles0582 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Interesting signature, we all have problems but some of us get unlucky and get stuck with the really shitty ones, I know what it's like, well not really but sorta, I struggle with severe anxiety and plenty of other issues, you have my sympathy. =( Anyways that is a lot of variables. I'm doing a fresh reinstall of the game now to see if it'll do anything. I'm not sure if it is a sound card compatibility error, I've had audio stuttering/cutting out in only one other game AC4 so it isn't a widespread issue. I know for sure I use nvidia HD audio. I'm not thinking it's a virus but anything is possible and I know it isn't my cpu and gpu getting hot because I monitor temperatures all the time with Afterburner, cpu-z and speedfan and it never gets too hot unless I'm playing very demanding games. I'm going to wait till tomorrow, keep the game install running and run a virus scan just in case. Hopefully the solution is an easy one that I've missed this whole time.

KimberJ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I know a long time ago I removed a PCI soundcard an switched to Onboard trying to diagnose an audio problem. The quality of Onboard wasn't as good back then as it is now. Depending on your motherboard you might have a really good one. That might be more efficiently wired into the motherboard than the PCI bus. I had surround speakers so it wasn't much of a choice, but the caps burned out in the amp I guess. Switched to a headset an onboard sound for a while. Now I got a TV for a display so I just kept using Onboard. I've had less audio issues using it, an the motherboard is a little over two years old. It's kind of plug an play too. I guess because of headsets. Maybe look at the common things between you an your friend. In the past looting bodies would lag due to the same audio lag problem. Pressing E to loot an it just lags an finally shows the loot menu. Which at the time I attributed to partially corrupted game which was locked in via load order an savegame. Increased spawns or chaos in the world would kick it off. It would come an go though. But it never persisted forever. Making new installs or new builds of load orders resolved it eventually.

soggywaffles0582 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) So I finished the reinstall. I uninstalled all of my mods too and the audio bug still persists. My virus scan came up with nothing. I'm going to check with my friend soon and see what kind of sound card he has. Honestly, I'm not even sure what kind of sound card I have. When I check in device manager and msinfo32 it just says usb audio, high definition audio device, nvidia high definition audio and nvidia virtual audio device (wave extensible) (WDM) so my audio has to all be through nvidia. I don't think I have a seperate pci sound card either, I think it's through my video card, if that's even a thing which it has to be because I don't remember buying or installing a sound card. So I probably have some kind of integrated audio through the motherboard but if I do I don't have any drivers for it and my pc doesn't give me any option of using it. Back before I got this video card I don't remember having any audio issues either so my guess would be the game wants to use my onboard audio for some reason but it can't so it's causing issues. I'll poke around in the INI settings and maybe I can find a fix. But honestly either way, audio bugs can't stop a game like this from being awesome. I've put 900 hours in FNV with lots of sound bugs so it was never that big of a deal in the first place since it's the best fallout game ever made, I was honestly just very curious as to what was causing it and maybe this is it. However I did switch motherboards at one point so I don't know how the game would react to using onboard audio for this motherboard specifically because when I was referencing back when I didn't have audio problems I was on a completely different motherboard.

KimberJ Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 You would find out who made the motherboard an what type it is, then go download an update for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
