Civ4 Warlords - Sound Glitches
- Thread starter godpuppet
- Start date
I am having the same problem. I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS, winXP. I upgraded to the latest drivers from the Creative website hoping that it would resolve the issue but it continues to happen. I also changed the sound settings in game, it was on mono by default for some reason, I changed it to discrete 5.1 and the problem continues. No other problems with the game. No problems at all with 1.61.
The problem does not start until the modern age. It is not only mech inf but other modern units in combat will randomly cause a very loud static sound for a few seconds.
Anyone have a suggestion?
godpuppet and StreetX do you also have a SB Audigy?

EXACT same problem with me. Played fine till Modern Age, then averaged about once every half hour, making me crap myself when it did it the first time. Lasts about 1-2 seconds, then regular music resumes perfectly fine.

heres how to fix it.
There's a typo (?) in Audio3dscripts.xml, in Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Warlords\Assets\XML\Audio-folder. Search for "yawn". It should be the third yawn down
Notice how iMinvolume in "AS3D_UN_YAWN_VOX_LOW" is actually larger than iMaxvolume. Replace 75 with 50 or something, and the noise goes away. Apparently the yawning of the SAM's was causing this to happen.
All credit of this should be given to Tattila the Hun as he/she found this on apolytons site. I did this for myself and works perfectly now

Thanks a lot! This thread should be stickied! Does Firaxis already know about this, so that they can include this fix in the warlords patch?

Thanks for the fix. This glitch was annoying me to no end. It managed to scare the heck outta me every single time, even when my headphones were on the table, the sound was so loud.
Thank you - you learn something new every day. Unfortunately, I have an outstanding problem - iminvolume is already lower than imaxvolume. The fix suggests that iminvolume needs to be changed from 75 to 50 or so, but my iminvolume is 45 by default. I'm wondering where to go next in terms of altering the xml file - any suggestions?Norseman2 said:

I noticed when I went into my regular civ audio folder the iminvolume was 45. It was only 75 in the warlords folder (well, 75 until I made it 50).
