Torque sound problems

Im having some problems with sounds in torque. i always thought the sound was fine since the button hover sound effect in the mission loading guis works, but i get real bad static for almost all sound effects in-game. i fired up think tanks the other night for reference and although the music seems to work fine, all the sound effects are marred by this loud static. does anyone else have this problem? what should i do about it?

I have that problem on my Soundblaster Live 24-bit sound card sometimes. It's not a problem with the sound, it's a problem with the card. I get static in the channel. Restarting the computer fixes the problem. I would try that, if it doesn't work check out the FAQ and troubleshotting guide on your soundcards website. Other people may be having the same problem... Is it specific to Torque, or are you having issues with other sound as well ?

Its only in torque. like i said i never paid it any attention because the sound effect on the mission start screen works fine. its only when i downloaded the code sampler tutorial.base and experienced that loud static in the footsteps sound effects that i realized this was a major problem. i can hear the footstep sound effect in windows, but in-game its just static and it sounds awful.

Ya, I would check and see if your sound cards website has anything useful to say. I would also try and figure out if something else is trying to use the soundcard at the same time.

@ Sean - I get awful noise if I use wav files (like bad buzzing) but they are fine if I change them to Oggs - dont know if that helps at all?
