Doom3 Audio Issue

[acidpad]

So, I have an asus a7n8x nforce 2 board, and i use the onboard audio through spdif to an external surround sound systerm. After playing the game for a few minutes, the audio goes all funky, but if i switch it back to stereo as opposed to surround, it fixes the sound, at which time i can switch back to surround. I have a friend that has the same board as me, but he uses the analog connection, and he has the same issue that im having. We are both running the newest nvidia drivers. Is anyone else having this issue .... Anyone know a way around it ?

Thanks,
Brad

I am having the same issues. I noticed that I lost sound right after I did a sceenshot. I am not sure if it was just coincidence or what?

My sound "turns off" and I pause, go to options, change surround to no then back to yes and it works fine again. Audigy2 ZS Platinum and Z680's using optical.

For the guys that are having problems in D3 with sound stoping in the middle of the game try this:

Add the following line to your doomconfig.cfg:

bind "x" "s_restart"

Everytime audio drops out, just press the "x" key.

We've already had this brought up in a couple of threads.

Many people are having this problem, including me. ID will issue a patch I'm sure, but in the meantime either do what Frazas said, or go into options when it happens and turn surround sound off and back on.
