20-30 Fps.

SjN · January 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">100 FPS when i disable my sound card?</div> I'm getting 70 fps in ready room. 40 fps when i join a team and 20-30 fps when i attack somebody. it dropps down to 15-20 fps when there's a lot of action.
Today I figured, if i disable my sound card in Device manager, my fps is 90-100. 80 in fights.

So, I was wondering WTH? and if anybody knows how to fix this problem without buying a new sound card, or setting the hisound to 0.

thanks

Tried re-installing the sound-card drivers? Maybe the sound card is on the same IRQ as the graphics card or something and it's causing problems?

not sure what IRQ is.
but I tried updating my sound card drivers, i downloaded them from my motherboard website. but still, same low fps.

aprent solution =
get a sound card

mobo sound is notoriously bad, I have seen a few cases of this and the only solution I have seen is getting an actual SC

?? i disable my soundcard , bam 97 controller and i get no sound in ns -_-

Hehe, i got the same problem. I got like 5-15 fps with sounds, and when i disabled them, my FPS rised to 100 and stayed there. I didn´t change my sound card, i installed new motherboard/sound card drivers, and deleted the musics in NS. It works very well now, try to delete some sound/music files (remember to backup them first).

Good luck!

I can't really tell you how to fix it. I'm only posting here to tell all of you what a IRQ is. IRQ stands for interrupt request. Basically its the thing that keeps all of your parts from trying to use the CPU at the exact same time. Also this sounds like a likely problem to your low fps. Sorry I can't tell you more than that.

Youre not using any soundblaster cards are you? There notorious for causing low fps because of a few probs with skipping music/sound and stuff...

20-30 Fps.
