I've been having a problem with the sound quality in The Witcher. After I play the game for about an hour, the background music and video sequence sound become glitchy and choppy. At first, I thought it might be because I was using my motherboard's onboard sound, so I purchased a sound card. Unfortunately, I'm still having the same problem. The only way to correct the issue (temporarily, of course) is to restart my computer. Yes, the entire computer must be restarted. Exiting the game and then restarting it after the sound has become choppy does not fix the problem. Below, I've outlined what I've done. If anyone knows how to correct this problem once and for all, I'd be sincerely grateful!
- I'm running Windows XP SP 3. Plain and simple.
- I installed the absolute latest version of Direct X...dated August 2008.
- I received The Witcher for my birthday and before even playing it for the first time, I downloaded and installed the Enhanced version patch. There were no problems during either the original or patch installations.
- If it matters at all, my new sound card is a Soundblaster Audigy SE.
