<div class="IPBDescription">possible mic/sound cause?</div> I left this game cuase of this in version 2 of ns and now hoped for it to work with steam. Sadly it didnt <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> . Actually this isnt only ns related i have two other games that seem to have the same problems. though i can play booth of them by closing down ventrilo (wich i use alot) or mute the sound on ventrilo before starting the game.
Now in ns it doesnt work. i can start it with and without ventrilo on though the sound inside the game is very "extreme" i have this background sound wich more sounds like constantly crashing glass. now even though this i try play the game only to end up crashin on every reset of map.
Game crashes - Computer restarts - End of story.
most probebly know what ventrilo is but to those who dont its a regular voice comunication program.
some computer information:
Motherboard: MSI 845PE MAX2-FISR Motherboard S478/533 I845PE, ATA/S-ATA, ATX, GLAN, IEEE1394
Soundcard: Hercules Gamesurround Muse 5.1 DVD. Soundcard PCI, Retail
Doubt my graphical card has anything to do with it but her i go:
Sapphire Radeon 9800 Atlantis PRO 256MB AGP, ATI 9800PRO, DVI, TV-Out, Retail
i noticed on further back in the tech support got the same problem but no answers!
and yes i have the newest driver to my soundcard
thanks in advance all friendly knowledged ones!

hope it can help you out finding what my problem might be.
i got a first hint it could be the sound scheme. well it wasnt because i changed it to none and windows standard still didnt work..
again a big thanks to those who can or will try to help me out!

At least the first error appears to be an overheating problem. Couldn't find anything on the other one.
Hope this helps.
seems like quite a few have crashing/shutting down problems but only one so far have had it with the sound card problem =(.. might be two problems acting together and creating a hell for my computer?
they: is your soundcard working?
me: yes
they: do you have the latest driver for your soundcard/graphical card?
me: yes
they: then i cant help you sorry.
me: ok thanks for the "help"
well atleast i found some servers having long time before map change but most often they are empty =(
1) Moved my mouse and my keyboard to different usb ports. The lockups seemed to occur when I had the voicekey pressed so I figured it was either the keyboard or the sound card. If you can't move the keyboard to another usb port, try going PS2 for a week on both the keyboard and mouse to see if that helps any. This is a possible solution if your USB controller is sharing interrupts with the NIC or sound card.
2) Shifted my NIC and sound card around in their PCI slots. Again to work around PCI int sharing. Once the NIC, sound card, keyboard and mouse had seperate interrups things got much more stable on my PC and I stopped crashing.
good luck!
thanks again for everyones input
maybe that would be a good temporary sulution?
i could write reconnect my self but its not always i will notice when a new map will start
