  • Half-Life and jerky vid - sometimes sound stuttering

    I'm kinda embarrassed to post this, because I've seen this posted a couple of times, but I always thought, "it would never happen to me." But now that I went to the G200 PD 5.13 drivers, "it" happened. I wiped it with the uninstaller (deleted some reg stuff - seems it doesn't do a complete job of doing that), reinstalled the old 4.51 drivers, and... TADA... it didn't help.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    What kind of hardware do you have (Especially sound card)? Also, what software are you running? Jerky sound is one thing, but if it's slow in general, my first guess is that there is something running in the background.

      You might want to turn off the high quality sound in the audio options, the same thing with the slugish video happend to me too. Even though I have a Monster Fusion and a PIII 450!!! So turn that bugger off!!!!!!! That might help the choppyness and the sound problem....
      Easy to overlook....

        I had a similar problem with video and sound stuttering even though I had not changed my video drivers. I have my hard drive partitioned into two logical drives. I installed the Populous demo on C: and later installed the full game on D:. Last night I finally uninstalled the demo on C: and the stuttering seems to be gone.

        Bill, I doubt this is your problem, but you might look through your programs to see if you have a demo and the real thing on different drives. I guess Windows hates getting info from two different locations.
