Realtek AC'97, EAX, and Quake 4?

Post by **Ganemi** » Mon May 01, 2006 6:24 am

In my audio settings, I can screw around with EAX stuff, but I can't get it to work in Quake 4. I tried to update my drivers, but it takes me to this windows update thing that doesn't seem to work.

The Audio settings stuff that I can screw around with:

Help? : [

i have also found this, but the only thing that i could say is that Quake 4 chooses its own EAX sounds and etc, thats part of the game.. Battlefield does it aswell. ( SHell shock = bathroom :/ )

Btw, find out what make/model mobo you have, and go to the Manufactures website for the Latest drivers

What's openal 1.1? Quake says that my card does not support OpenAL.

Well, blame it on creative. I've heard, but don't hold me on this, that most non-creative cards, and not having openal installed, gives sound problems in Q4.

Even if it dosen't support it, give it a try, it won't harm anything. Maybe it says it dosen't support it because you don't have it installed, I dunno.

Yeah. It's just Quake 4 being silly, because I was playing Half life 2 and it totally works with my EAX. Even Half Life 1 seems to at some points.
