TWD: Voices crackling and hissing on VIA HD Audio

Hey there,

My problem is quite strange. When I'm playing The Walking Dead, the sound is good, not jerky, even when recording with a software. But the voices are like... not normal. Hard to tell, but I guess the closest description of it is "metallic" voices. Yep...

Which is weird, because I don't have this issue on other recent games !

So, can it be fixed in the game, or could it be a problem relative to my computer. Maybe a kind of incompatibility with a piece of my PC ?

Thanks in advance !

    Can you post a recording of what the voices sound like?

    Also please post your dxdiag info.

    dxdiag
    Windows XP: Go to your start menu and click on run. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter
    Windows Vista / 7: Press the windows key on your keyboard or click on the start menu. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter.

    Now click on the button that says "save all information".
    It will prompt you to save a file. Save it where you can find it.

    Open the file and press Ctrl+A followed by Ctrl+C to copy the contents, and paste them in a reply by pressing CTRL-V.
    Sometimes the Forums spam filter catches long posts like this. Don't worry, we can still see them and make them visible.

    Good morning DjNDB and thank you for your quick answer.

    Let's skip the recording for now.
    You can try installing the latest VIA HDA Sound driver.

    Installed, restarted, no changes.

    I don't have any good ideas at the moment.
    Could you upload a short video demoing the voices on Youtube?
    You can make the video private and post the link here.
  • edited October 2012
    Here it is : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f50mcwn3U8U&feature=youtu.be

    Sorry, the sound isn't synchro because of the encoding that I don't understand right now. But the sound of the voices is still the same as I hear it in the game.
    I've also take a caption of the sound in general so you can see the differences.

    I had difficulties noticing anything wrong at first. When i use my headphones i can hear some hissing and crackling though, that's normally not there.
    I am not sure what's going on there and if i hear the same thing as you do.

    Does it change in any way if you reduce the volume of everything in-game?

    In order to rule out corrupt installation files, i would also uninstall the game, and redownload and reinstall it.
  • edited October 2012
    Yes, with normal volume on speakers that's quite euhm... transparent ! But like you say, with headphones, you can hear it well. I've tried to low the volume of voices in the settings, and the hissings and cracklings are still there.

    I'm gonna try to reinstall it like you've recommanded me to do so.

    Hello.
    I reinstalled it and it's exactly the same. :(

    Does it also happen if you entirely turn off Music and Sound in the game (Voice only)?

    Also you can check if there's anything in the sound driver settings that can cause trouble (e.g. global effects).
  • edited October 2012
    Yes, it does.

    You mean, like check the VIA HD Audio Deck ?
    Because I don't know what to check exactly, but after a few tries, either it's getting worse or I didn't notice any changes. Is it sure that my sound card can handle the game in specific ? Because like I've said, it's only on this game that I get that. For example for Mass Effect 2 or Skyrim, the voices are good.

    I don't have a via sound chip, so sadly i can't check what settings are possible and if it always happens on that chip with TWD.
    It would be best if other users with the same sound chip chimed in, but since it's a bit hard to notice depending on the circumstances, that might be difficult.

    I adapted the threads topic, maybe it helps bringing people in who have the same issue or no problems with the same chip.

    Thank you for that !
