Popping Sounds in Music

unmerged(100020) · May 5, 2008

We are experiencing light to moderate popping sounds with the music on many screens, windows, and especially the topographical (terrain) map screen. At times the music appears to be stuttering. We have performed all of the suggested changes, installing the latest DirectX drivers, NVIDIA GeForce GO 7600 drivers, trying XP compatibility mode, and of course the 1.1 patch.
Our Laptop is the SONY VAIO VGN-AR390E running Windows Vista Premium.
The Processor is the Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2 GHZ with 4MB L2 Advanced Smart Cache, 667 MHZ FSB.
We have 2 GB of DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300)
The Graphics card/chipset is NVIDIA GeForce GO 7600
The music and sound effects are very well done, and add much to the overall "aesthetics" of the simulation, which is why we hope to be able to resolve this sound issue.
One possibly useful bit of information, is that the Intel program which we can run concurrently showing processor utilization redlines at 100 % for both processors while these sound problems are occurring. It would appear to us that the program is somehow taxing the processors to the point that the sound begins to breakup, or cannot be fully processed?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! The program looks absolutely beautiful on our display, and has the kind of depth we appreciate in historical simulations!
Please help us!
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem. Running the music in WMP solves it, although it obviously isn't a satisfying sollution

Popping Sounds

Thanks for the prompt reply!
How can I set the program to do that? I'd like to try it, if it avoids the popping and stuttering! Thanks in advance!!

Just enter the Rome directory (Presumably C/program files/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis - Rome) open the music folder, slect all the files in the music folder (they are simple .mp3 files, so any mediaplayer you have would do), and play.
Activating shuffle and repeat on your player is of course good

(For clarification, WMP= Windows Media Player)

This may, however, steal CPU from rome, but to me having fluid music is more important than getting halv a day extra per second

What soundcard do you have in that laptop? could you post a dxdiag file for me? (here is how to do it )

Hello, I did some poking around and it seems there are more people around with your soundcard (sigmatel) and vista who have problems with choppy sound playback sometimes.

Also the fact that both your cores are reaching 100% cpu seems to indicate driver problems (we should never be taxing the second core like that).

I suggest trying to update your sound drivers. Check whatever resource your laptop manufacturer has (driver version said they were from 2005, so I'm sure newer are available). It might be a standalone sound driver, or a motherboard/system driver including the sound drivers.

Here is a suggestion i found on a forum for another game:

Yea, i worked out the problem and found a way round it. I must have posted solutions over at Dell forum.
Go to control panel > Sound. (Or right click your speaker icon; bottom right taskbar) Select "Speaker" option of your sound card under "Playback" > Properties > Enhancements > Disable all enhancements.
That seems to have solved my problem.

Note of Appreciation!

Thank you so very much for checking on this issue for us, and for your suggestions! We will try both (Sound Card Driver Update), and the removal of the "Sound Enhancements" feature.

This is a wonderfully rich computer simulation! The music adds much to the overall appeal, which is why we are so eager to resolve the chopping sounds.

We also appreciate the frequency of updates (Revisions or Patches), and have installed the version update 1.2.

unmerged(100020) · May 16, 2008

Additional Information

We updated the sound drivers to the latest version, using Windows Vista via the internet, and rebooted the computer.

We checked the Sound settings and found the "Enhancements" were already disabled.

We ran EU: Rome, and the popping/chopping sounds remained about the same.

One interesting thing, when we turned the "Trees" feature off, the sounds were no longer present in the Terrain Map Mode. Although the trees feature does enhance the aesthetics of the Terrain Map, we certainly can live without them if removing them stops the audio distortion.

Has anyone else reported this correlation?

Thanks again for checking on this problem for us!

podcat · May 16, 2008

The tree rendering is a pretty heavy task to perform, so by easing the work for the computer it freeded up more CPU for the sound. Your computer should have no problems running both though.

Have you been playing any other newer games? Do they have similar issues?
