The information in this topic has been obsoleted by the
NewDark v2.4
patch which is best installed through the
SS2Tool
. This topic remains here for historical reasons.
Make sure you've read the
SS2 Technical FAQ
before you go on. Post problems in
Helpdesk
.
If certain sounds in SS2 are non-existent or too silent check these points:
● Check if you have the file
OggSetup.exe
in your game folder and run it if you haven't yet. You have the
HOTU version of SS2
.
● In the game go to the Main menu -> Options -> Audio. Make sure the
Positional Sound Bias
slider is set to the middle of the scale. Turn on
Hardware Acceleration
,
EAX
and set the
Sound Channels
to 16.
● If EAX cannot be enabled try the
EAX fix
from the
SS2Tool
.
● Starting with Windows Vista (and Windows 7) Microsoft omitted the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for DirectSound3D, that System Shock 2 relies on for advanced 3D effects (EAX). Sound will still work but sound very flat by comparison (stereo only). On these systems DirectSound3D is software-emulated and EAX effects cannot be applied to it.
To solve this on Vista/Win7 with a Creative X-FI/Audigy sound card you'll want to install
Creative Alchemy
for EAX sound support. For settings see the screenshot by EvaUnit02 below.
A similar software exists for Realtek cards:
3D SoundBack
(Also attached to this post.)
● Note that you can only set EAX and Hardware Acceleration options
before
you start a game or load a savegame
