Static problems with fraps

**simpson2142** · 04-20-2007, 01:44 PM

Hi all

For some reason whenever I have running I seem to get major static on my mic and just don't know why, I see other people make movies with fraps and they sound just fine.

so may I ask what is the problem, could it be my sound settings, or my headset or something different?

thanks.

Do you use a headset or deskmic? It may somehow be causing a loopback between speaker and mic when FRAPS is running. Do your squadmates hear the static through your mic or is it only in your headphones, and do you have the voice input muted through the sound CP? What do you have your ingame sound settings at (med, high, ultra-high...)? Just trying to troubleshoot through the problem, I have little clue where it could be coming from.

well when I playback my videos I seem to sound just fine, but my squad mates complain about the static. So I started to do some testing with my sound settings and found that it's when I have stereo mix turned on that I get the sound problems, but don't you need stereo mix to record in game sounds.

oh and:
I use headset
I don't hear the static at all
voice input is not muted
all of my settings are on medium except for recording volume which is on high

thanks for the reply btw.

I have the same problem. My teammates cannot hear me but I hear them just fine. They said that all they hear is static.

Simpson/Dirtboy, are you the sort of people who have sound cards such that you cannot use TeamSpeak and BF2 at the same time? If so, I doubt you'll be able to run any two programs asking for the same input device at the same time.

**simpson2142** · 04-21-2007, 02:55 PM

no because I used to be able to run fraps o.k, but then my computer crashed so we had to reset everything (including all the sound stuff) and ever since then it's been static. Thats why I feel it has something to do with the sound settings.

Do you use motherboard sound, if so make sure you turn off EAI and test it then

**Acid** · 04-22-2007, 09:20 AM

Simpson, check under the sound CP tab and make sure the correct audio cards are set as default. There are usually more than one possible selection for both input and output, like (onboard, Audigy 2, ...). That may have gotten reset when your computer crashed.

**simpson2142** · 04-22-2007, 11:03 AM

ok acid I've done that, just going now to see if it works.

and no silver I don't use motherboard.

**simpson2142** · 04-22-2007, 03:15 PM

yep it works, just had fraps running and didn't have no complaints of static.

Thanks everyone.

another happy frapper hits the battlefield

Yay! My troubleshooting works again

Dirtboy did it fix your problem aswell?

**Dirtboy** · 04-28-2007, 10:23 AM

I still use the onboard for my mic. Everytime I use FRAPS, I cant hear myself and they cant hear me.(garbled)
