Sounds Quicken And Get Static

AlienFromBeyond

<div class="IPBDescription">and NS crashes on exiting</div> So what happens is that if I join a server to play, any server, my sound gets all messed up. They all go really really fast, heighten in pitch (probably from going faster), and sudden;y pick up huge amounts of static. A firefight with lmgs hurts my ears so much, that I have to turn off the sound, which is bad in NS and just plain sucks. THEN if I try to exit out of NS, my whole copmuter will crash. It just freezes up to the point where I have to use the reset button <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->. I've updated all my drivers recently. I'm running NS beta 4a in Steam in Windows 98 SE. I will gladly provide additional information on sound card and other information as needed.

first check your drivers.
second try a diff soundcard
three check the sound settings in all games.
Does this work just for NS.

Like, check to see how other games set them, and copmare with NS?

Yes. It doesn't even happen when I run other steam games, including Half-Life or Counter-Strike. It's only NS. I've even tried uninstalling Steam, reinstalling it, and doing a reinstall of NS. It still happens.

make sure your mic is off
try disablining your sound card (via device manager)
try finding an older version of your drivers.

Unfortunately, this is a family copmuter, and I can't do stuff like that. That and I can't seem to find the Device Manager. I thought it was in control panel...

I did try turning my mic off though, still happens.
