Creative Audigy + Fallout 3 and Oblivion = Game freeze within 1-5 mins

[Deleted1932859User]

Hello, hoping for advice from Creative sound card users

 

I have been playing with on-board sound and never any issues.

But my Creative Audigy has way better sound, when you have good headphones, i really notice the difference.

Latest Driver + Latest Alchemy (have tried 2 versions of Alchemy and same freezing issue)

 

My heavily modded Fallout 3 runs sweet, but always with Audigy sound card it freezes 1 - 5 mins of playing

go onboard and hours of trouble free play (well hang on, this is FO3 here ahem. :laugh: .)

 

The freezing issue has occured:

 

- with 3 different motherboards and setups

- with 2 different Audigy's cards ( an earlier big model and a new smaller version - both retail versions from Creative)

- have no stutter issues ingame or sound or radio stutter

- always with Oblivion and Fallout 3, no other game whatsoever a problem

 

* tried all the ini detail changing including enlarging cache etc and also many different ini's

*cccp codec pack has Fallout 3 excluded for FFDShow

 

I'm SURE that people have Fallout 3 and Creative soundcards working, what have i missed?

Searched the net and forums but found no solid fix or is it just me?

thank you if anyone has a few tips :thumbsup:

 

specs:

Win7 x64

Phenom ll Quad

Asus M4A77TD PRO

8GB DDR3

I'm not using it anymore, but I can tell the same happened ;). I just stopped using alchemy for them.

It was counting down to death whenever I enabled it >.>.

 

Maybe this provides some clues.
