I am experiencing a problem with the sound system in Patch V. The sounds are delayed about one second and they are very stuttery/echoey. I can try to record the problem if it will help troubleshoot the issue.
I tried several things and was able to narrow down the problem.
Everything works fine in Patch U using either my on-board sound card or my PCI Sound Blaster Live! card.
Everything worked fine in the last test patch I tried (sorry, I don't recall which patch it was and don't know if there's any way to tell now that I've installed V).
Everything works fine in Patch V if I use my on-board AC'97 sound card.
The problem occurs only in Patch V when using the PCI Sound Blaster Live! card.
I tried clean installs of Patch U and Patch V as well as my normal old install and verified what is listed above. The problem is definitely specific to the Sound Blaster card, but it works fine in Patch U and worked fine in previous test patches. Right now I'm up and running fine after changing my primary sound device to the on-board AC'97 device. However; others may experience this problem if they try to use the Sound Blaster Live! card. I also plan to check for updated drivers to see if that fixes the issue, but this is a fairly old piece of hardware and I doubt there are newer drivers than what I have installed. If there are any other steps I should take to narrow down or help resolve the issue, I'd be more than happy to try.
