I'm having an odd problem lately: My weapon sounds will simply stop working. I can still ehar everythign else going on - explosions, music, VOIP, other troops weapon fire/feet, etc... There doesnt seem to be any reason for it, it'll randomly happen sometime during a game. I need to completely restart BF2 to get them back, and when it's a busy night on TG, I'd rather not do that I have the game set to use my Audigy2 Platinum diong the sound processing, and up until this week it's been perfectly OK.

Also, my gun animations will also no longer work.... So it jsut looks as though I'm pointing my weapon, while I'm actually reloading...this gets to be very annoying, especially when sniping.

Has anyone else experienced these problems? Is there anyway to re-initiate the sound engine or weapon animations while in-game?
