EAX sound

Post by Sydcul »

Hello people!

I have GTA:SA installed and i have encountered some problems with the sound. After googling around i've discovered the problem is EAX. That is a sound engine GTA uses. I can hear the radio/police radio, but i (almost) can't hear sound effects (walking, shooting, explosions etc.). I discovered it is a problem you can stop by turning sound acceleration off in dxdiag.exe, but it is grey there, so i can't change it. There is a sound acceleration option in winecfg.exe, too, but there isn't a real "off" function there. And when i slide it to left or right, nothing happens too. How could i fix this?

See sticky about sound. If your Wine is too old - upgrade. New Wine doesn't have sound acceleration in winecfg.

Thanks for the reply, but the sticky about sound is about having NO sound, and i have a little bit sound (if i put my sfx on max, my speakers on max, and i put my ear on the speaker.. But i'll try updating and post if it works then.
