Q u o t e:
Yes but you've still failed to comment on allowing an option for HW sound.
Q u o t e:
So you're going also to tell me that my increase in CPU usage from the loss of hardware sound is from these "bugs" that were causing sound issues and fps drops?
Q u o t e:
I run a custom built PC with all high end equipment and XP and it ran flawlessly and sounded beautiful until 2.2. I am a patient and forgiving person so I will give Blizz the benefit of the doubt and hope that they truly are working to resolve this grievous error. If it isnt resolved in the next patch as they are promising I may indeed have to put serious consideration into whether or not I want to continue paying for a lackluster gaming experience.
Q u o t e:
Hardware Sound Returned .... I do not accept sound being dumped onto my processor an upgrade, it is causing massive lag period. I happen to know that hardware can be enabled in your software engine, if your not going to return hardware sound then I would like a solid answer as to why this is a problem that never existed befor this crappy patch that has destroyed my gameplay considerably.
Q u o t e:
there are some performance issues that are fixed in 2.2.3 that have to do with the transfers of the sound files from the hard drive during sound calls that stalls the main game engine. Yes, I know about those. Many don't have this problem because their computers have DMA enabled hard drives.
