Hey guys,
I recently bought a Sound Blaster Z and I'm getting some strange issues with sound in the game while using the card. Every now and then the game will make a popping sound, then all audio will go very quiet, and over the course of maybe three seconds come back up to full volume again. Sometimes the popping sound is replaced by a high-pitched one, and once when it happened all sound stopped and wouldn't come back again.
It only ever happens in Warband (while playing Napoleonic Wars, specifically) - I've never had the issue in any other game, and I have quite a few installed on my pc. I've tried looking on the 'net to see if anyone else is having this issue with Warband and this card, or the card in general, but can find nothing like it. I'm using driver version 2.04.10, which is the latest, in Windows 7 x64 alongside a Radeon 7970 if that's of any use.
Any suggestions would be welcome!
