Hi, when i join a game on the internet my sound is constantly crackly. Its fine on all other games related with steam and menu sounds & music for NS are fine. Just in game sounds are screwed.

Ive tried reinstalling steam & ns.
tried reseting pc.
tried rolling back sound drivers - nothing worked

pc specs:

amd 3200
soltek golden flame
radeon 9800 pro
1gb ddr 400 ram
120gb hdd

I've got sound problems too.

Some are too loud like the firing and bullet casings hitting the ground. Others are non existant, like the building. Other players voices are very faded, even though I adjusted the levels in options. I dont think any one could hear me either.I'm not smart enough to go monkeying around with my system. The problem only started with the beta5 version. I'm using the same headphones as for previous versions (Verbatim combo).

Ok, I monkeyed around with A3d options in, well, options. I cant hear others voice, my own marine voice is faint, sounds are not level or distance consistant. As a skulk, I cant hear myself bite structures but the skulk next to me is deafening. As a gorge, I cant hear myself build. Some marine sounds I can hear, but walking isnt one of them.

Please respond.

The crackling sound when you enter a server also happens to me. I find that if you alt+tab 3 times then it goes away.
Annoying but it works.

This has happened to me too... literally overnight. Suddenly I can't hear my own sounds (footsteps, shooting and whatnot) or anything said over voicecomms... distance is screwy - the skulk that sounds like it's nibbling something down the hallway is actually chewing my ankles off. Nothing hardware- or software-related has been done to the puter - last night it was all peachy; I join a server this morning and it's farked. It's the same in NS and DoD. Any ideas?
