Someone please help me. I am using Windows Vista Ultimate Retail Full 32-Bit Version. I got all the drivers installed such as the video and sound driver. Then I downloaded Halo Trial from Microsoft. When I installed it and tried to play it there is sound but the sound is cracking (there are skips in between each sound), its like my computer is lagging but it's not. I downloaded the latest drivers from ASUS also because I am using the sound card that is intergrated with the motherboard. My motherboard is P4P800 and the sound driver is Soundmax Audio Driver. I tried installinh the game on the same PC but on Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 with all the same hardware configuration and it works perfectly with perfect soung. Please note: I have multiple O/S on one system. Thanks in advance.

Yes la, I still got the cracking sound although I update the Soundmax Audio Driver.

Hey Humping^Panda how do you go to sound props and where is it?

Someone please tell me how to go to the sound props panel. I can't seem to find where is it. Please don't tell me to update the Soundmax Audio Driver as I have already done it. Thanks in advance.

Hey you can try by reffering to this website:

Hey Vorador no problem man, thats what forums are for. But someone please help me with my problem please. Very frustrating la. I wanna try playing Halo with sound but cannot. I updated all the graphics and sound driver but still have sound just that it is cracking. Thanks in advance.

Hey outdoorxplorer, I am using the soundcard that is intergrated into the ASUS P4P800 Motherboard. I am using the Soundmax Audio Driver that comes with the motherboard disc but I updated the driver from the Internet after I installed it from the disc. BTW: I am using Windows Vista Ultimate RTM6000 Retail Full 32-Bit) Trying to play Halo Demo. Got sound but the sound is cracking. Someone please help me, I have been trying very long to fix this issue. I have tried this game with the exact computer specs but on Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 and it works great (great graphics and sound).

No this is not a case of dispatibility I think because I Soundmax Audio Drvier is fully Windows Vista (someone told me that) certified and it works well on my PC and there are no bugs or glitches. Please someone tell me how to fix this because it is still unsolved.

Hey outdoorxplorer, I just did that. The problem is still the same. I use all the downloaded drivers and still got sound but cracking. Anymore ideas. BTW: I appreciate the replies.

You mean how to turn off shadow copy. I will tell you later. I am using PDA now. Can't type.

That was what I wanna type just now. Thanks mystical zero for helping me type that. BTW: Another way you can do that is by using the Disk Cleanup in the Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr is actually almost the same thing I think).

Oh okay, thanks for that simple answer. Playing Halo now on Windows XP.

Hey CKC_1, Windows Vista does support up to 4GB and above on the 64-Bit one. But I think you are using the 32-Bit version of Vista. Therefore, Vista is reading it as only 3.5GB which is the maximum Vista 32-Bit supports (correct me if I am wrong).

Added on June 6, 2007, 6:59 pmHey ongoky, I don't think he has a previous version of Windows or any other OS installed because he said that he managed to save 30GB. So it means that it was the shadow copies. And I thought you can change the percentage of HDD space a shadow copy consumes.

I am not sure la. I read about it somewhere that you can go into the system files and then change the amount of HDD space the shadow copies consume. BTW: How do you turn of your shadow copying. I just wanna know how to delete all the system restore points. Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah thanks Humping^Panda, will try it later. Hope it works for me.

I already downloaded the Soundmax Audio Driver for the motherboard from ASUS Official website. Please tell me the Soundmax Audio Driver website. I very hot tempered already la.

Hey Humping^Panda, I did exactly what you told me to do and I couldn't find any Enhancement Tabs. Someone please tell me how to get the Enhancement Tabs activated. BTW: Humping^Panda thanks for all you've done, appreciate it a lot.

Can you someone please teach me how to disable it in Media Player 11 in Windows Vista with screenshots please. Help much appreciated. Hey, adriankhoo153 how do I switch on the equalizer and cross fade switch on Windows Media Player? Thanks in advance. Sorry for being a noob in Vista becuase I never use Vista before. HeHe...

Hey dualshock, thanks for the reply. Hey adriankhoo153, I did what you did go to the WMP 11 in Vista and turn on equalizer and crossfade and turn off the SRS WOW. I did all of that and there is still no difference. Please help, thanks in advance, help much appreciated.

I just wanna know whether that these free Dreamscene videos file formats are .dream and can I set it as my Dreamscene video because the default Dreamscene video format is .mpg. Thanks in advance. I am using Windows Vista Ultimate.
