Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems Static Sound Problem

I've been playing and fully enjoying DD. The only oddity that I've encountered, which happens to make me jump out of my chair sometimes, is that periodically there will be rather loud static sound emitted from my speakers. I get the idea that the game is trying to play a certain sound, appropriate to whatever is going on at the moment, but the sound data may have a problem/is corrupt.

Has anyone else encountered this? It's certainly not a show stopper but I thought I would throw it out there in the event that I can fix or prevent it for the future.

As requested, my machine info is as follows:

- Microsoft Windows XP Home (Version 2002 / Service Pack 1)
- 1.00 GB RAM
- NVidia GeForce3 Ti200 (5.6.6.4 - 3/3/2004)
- 16 bit Color
- SBLive Value (5.1.2603.0 - 6/26/2002)
- English Divine Divinity Fresh Install (Patched to V1.0034A)
- 8.0GB Free Drive Space
- DirectX 9.0b (4.09.0000.0902)
- No Hex Editing, trainers, save editors etc.

Thanks in advance!

There is a file verification in the topic below, which will let you check for corrupt sound files;

Troubleshooting Tips (& manual install procedure)

i get the same problem all the time.

more often happens when i've just started playing the game.

first time i teleport, put item in bag etc.. i will get a corrupted static noise. after that it doesnt happen. sounds are normal.

its not a corrupt file otherwise it would do it everytime i teleported, put item in bag etc..

its a bug... that was never fixed.
