TAR-21 Sound Bug
Posted: 2014-05-07 15:31
Description: Any map with IDF (beuirut, bijar, gaza), I will occasionally hear loud bursts of TAR-21 gunfire from an unknown source, always at the same (loud) volume. It is either a regular sound bug (sound emanating incorrectly from the environment) or possibly an EAX bug where the sound is not being properly attenuated by distance/structures.
No other abnormal sound glitches occur on other maps.
Steps to Reproduce: Play any map with IDF force. Usually occurs every 5-10 minutes. This may be limited to Soundblaster X-Fi users as I have not heard anyone else notice this.
Video: Due to the fickle nature of recording BF2 OpenAL audio under X-Fi mode, namely that FRAPS or other game recording software won't record audio, it'll take some effort to get video footage of the bug. If necessary, I have a bit of a workaround I can try.
Audio Settings:
Sound Card: X-Fi Titanium
Speaker Setup: 5.1
Mode: X-Fi
Quality: Ultra High
EAX: On
