Intermittant Voice Response

#1
Hello, right I have now installed the UK B patch an have downloaded and installed the german voice response (being an SH2 player before this I feel very at home) ;) I'm having a bit of trouble with the voice response pack in that the responses seem to be intermittent, sometimes a command gets a response, other times the same command produces no audio response, however the text response shows the command has been received, other times the response is severely delayed and occurs several seconds after the command has been carried out.

Does anybody have experince of this? It's only minor, but it is annoying...

not something I have seen or heard of before but i might know why.

some games skips audio sequences at some occassions like:

A: Heavy sound output (eg if the game is playing 10 sound files and is to play the 11th, it simply gets skipped (forced out of queue) to prevent lag).

B: During heavy Harddisk usage some sounds/audio might be forced out again to reduce the lag time.

C: There simply isnt any free buffer space in your RAM at the moemnt to read/cache/play it.

Anyhow, its better not to get a verbal respond than getting it 2 minutes after you gave an order, that would confuse you even more Image

Hmm, you could be right, although I have this problem even when on a calm sea, with no enemies around. Considering that I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card and 1Gb of RAM I can't see that it's likely to be lack of resources causing the error - but I'm no expert on that... ;)

Oh well, nowt to be done I suppose...
