I just reinstalled Everquest and notice that the game skips playing some sounds. Most obvious is when I try to cast two spells in a row. The second spell just doesn't trigger the sound effect.
I played in December on the same machine and didn't have this problem. The only new component is an upgrade to my video card from a gtx970 to a 1070ti.
Thinking about it I remember when I played on a WoW private server, that game would skip playing sounds also, if they came back to back right away. Not sure if these problems are related or not.
Anyway it is driving me nuts.
The problem persists whether I run my speakers through my Creative Audigy Sound Card, or if i use the Realtech on board sound on my MSI motherboard. It also persists if I am using my headphones. I use a TV for a monitor and the problem is the same with just using the TV sound.
I have tried settings like 5.1, stereo, and headphones.
I have tried uninstalling the hardware and then reinstalling it and have also made sure the drivers are up to date. I have also tried running with just the windows drivers.
Nothing fixes the problem.
Of course I tried goofing around with all the game settings I could, but they are fairly limited. Poked around in the .ini and .cfg files also, but didn't see anything useful.
My setup is about a year old. I have an MSI M5 gaming mobo, Intel 3.6 I5 8600k, and a Creative Audigy FX sound card. I am running Windows 10 with the latest updates installed.
I honestly thought this was going to be easy to fix, but can't figure out the problem for the life of me. Also, I would not that looking through the EQ forums and doing google searchs that this does not seem to be a wide spread or common problem. I have seen a couple of people with a similar issues, but by and large it seems most people don't have any sound problems at all.
I am assuming the problems between EQ and the Wow private server are related, but they may well not be, because EQ was working fine just in December.
Does anyone have any ideas? I am about out.
Thanks!!
