Audigy SE and BF2 Compatibility

[Barb4rian]

Tried searching this, no direct results so here it goes. (I'm also guessing this could have gone in Gaming, but seeing as its a sound/hardware issue I put it here)

I recently bought a SoundBlaster Audigy SE (link to the card here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102002), I would have gone X-Fi but, money is a factor so I went with a well rated cheaper sound card.

My Question is, does anyone know of BF2 and this card having compatibility issues? I've read both that, "It works fine" and "BF2 doesn't support all Creative products" =/. So I'm just a little confused, am I missing something? or is it just BF2 being BF2 =P.

And yes, I tried Hardware sound settings and I get strange feedback, software works fine, but then I'm not getting the most out of the card. (This is the only game I've run into in my library so far that there is any issue.

the audigy se does not have hardware acceleration. also the bf2/2142 sound engine is very quirky
you can try changing the pci latency to 32 in bios-that worked for my x-fi. also u can turn down audio accelration in windows control panel a nocth

Alright, I'll try that. Thanks =)

Beh..its more than just sound in BF2 thats quirky >.> ( I wish EA would patch it at least one more time, but they don't care about their past products much )
