slez@comcast.net 6 Posted August 4, 2012 When playing with my friends, it's a constant "did you hear that shot?", and me going, "No, I didn't hear anything." My soundcard is fairly old, but so are other's that I play with. It's a Soundblaster XtremeGamer, with a Creative Fatal1ty headset.Basically i'm just curious if there are any setting tweaks to pickup background noise better.

slez@comcast.net 6 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I'd blow out my eardrums from rain, or walking :/The sounds just don't seem to register. Edited August 4, 2012 by Strife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stripes 92 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Your hardware's fine.Have you installed the creative console launcher? Try playing with the settings in that. Run a sound test using the software (its quite detailed). Try swapping between entertainment & game mode. Edited August 4, 2012 by MadMax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
