this problem has me stymied.
BF2 will suddenly lock up with repeating sound, whatever was heard last. The stuttering sound will continue for about 30 seconds, and then the colors will invert. A few seconds of this and i'll drop back to the server browser with a "connection lost" message. onto this only happens in BF2-i've ran WC3XP, DoW:WA, F4.0:AF, SCXP, AA:SF, LOMAC, GR:Advanced Warfighter, WOE, SW:EaW and, most importantly, 3dMark06. Everything but BF2 runs flawlessly. this happens even with the absolute minimum 14 background processes.
hardware:
A64 s939 3000+ at stock speed(with arctic cooling freezer 64 pro)
DFI nf4 Lanparty Ultra-D, also occured with a DFI nf4 Ultra Infinity
Leadtek 6800GT PCI-E, bios flashed to 450/1045(with Arctic Cooling NV5 silencer)
mitsumi 3.5" internal floppy, also occured without floppy
Fortron 450W v2.0(AX450-PN)
GIGABYTE IDE DVD-ROM optical drive(GO-B5232A-W)
Hitachi SATA 160GB(HDT722516DLA380)
Patriot 2x1GB PDC2G3200LLK
BIOS is absolutely immaculate, as is windows. no spyware, adware, virii, etc.
since the stuttering sound is tip off to sound driver problems, here's my sound setup:
integrated karajaran module with the Ultra-D, integrated with the infinity
for drivers, i have tried the manufacturer recommended realtek AC'97 as well as the audio drivers that come with the nForce 6.70 and 6.66 drivers.
headset:sennheiser PC150 now, crappy ancient sony headset and logitech online chat cheapy previously.
i tried disabled voip and eax, one at a time or together, and have set DX9 sound acceleration to basic. nothing.
also-
it seems to just not happen on some servers, and frequently on others. there's no similarities between occurances, but it happens frequently enough to be very annoying but not quite dehabilitating.
