Jitspoe just made a post regarding those that think the new sounds just don't sound right:

Before you do that, make sure you have your audio settings set to 48khz. Also, build 25 has made a lot of improvements to the sounds, so grab that. You might just not be used to the new sounds. Give it a week or so. They have a MUCH higher recording quality than the old ones, though, so they should sound better. If there's something specific you don't like, I'd rather get feedback on it so it can be improved rather than have you just switch back to the old sounds with no explanation as to why you don't like the new ones.

If you are having issues with the new sounds, please post in this thread so that we can keep a running track of what's going on. Please be as descriptive as possible:

Bad Description: They Suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxz0rz!!!
Good Description: The PGP Seems to be distorted slightly.

Thanks

I think most of the posts here will be along the lines of

"sure they sound better, BUT THEY'RE NOT THE SOUNDS I'M USED TO!!!1111111!1!1111!!!!!6!!".

Personally I like the new PGP sounds.

As I said in another post. The sounds are better period. Why would someone prefer the old ones. Its a fact new sounds are better. I already got used to the new sounds and love them.

For some reason (i don't know why) when i start up my game all the sounds shut completely off even the step and jump and gun but that is like out of the random...only gun to me that is bothering me is my autococker it stops making the sound after shooting it a couple of times...

Are you using 3D audio? Sometimes it has issues like that. Try disabling it if you have it enabled.

I recently found out that I've been using 11k sounds in pballs, so I changed to the top one (44k i think) and they all sound really distorted. I think this is iether something wrong with my sound card, or everyone puts up with it.

Otherwise, the ones that don't sound distorted (the guns ones) sound really good. Its only the round starts and the flag caps that distort like hell.

48 khz is the highest setting, and you should use that. The old sounds are simply low quality recordings, and the resampling algorithm isn't very good. Vote for this: http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=14860

I know that they're low quality, but they sound fine on 11khz, just slightly more muddy. on 48khz, they distort.

I think you should stick with the build 21 sounds.

I like the footsteps on snow sound, but I dont think it should be used on ice. If anything, don't have any footstep sounds on ice

Ice can have snow on it... (And it usually has

)

Rewind · « **Reply #17 on:** March 02, 2009, 05:58:05 AM »

I know that, but it sounds crunchy, and ice doesn't usually look crunchy

and in pball, you dont exactly walk on ice the same as on snow

The sound depends on what texture is used.
