    The audio in Battlefield 2 is all crackly, so I turned off Hardware Accerelation in the Control Panel, which fixed it, but now the sound in Oblivion is bad. Anyone have a solution?

    why dont you turn on the hardware acceleration, and then ingame in BF2 under Options > Audio turn the audio setting to software or whatever it is not on right now.

    Yeah, same problem here, but that happened on my PC as well. Its not your computer, trust me, with BF2 its the game. BF2 just has very...unefficient coding. I'm going to guess you can't play it on high settings online either without insane lag? While other games you have NO trouble with. Trust me, save yourself the trouble and deal with the crackling, BF2 ALWAYS wins. Call me a cinic, but I've dealt with it much too long. *places 44 magnum in mouth, pulls trigger*

    Lol, this is what I have said all along... Dice and EA put out the worst code in a game. I cannot believe they are throwing out BETA Demos.

    i can run it on all high settings with no lag. I have my In-game audio set to Software and the quality set to High.

    Just don't turn the volume up terribly high otherwise it starts to crackle like that. Generally a good pair of headphones or external speakers should fix that.

    Well, I think the reason you can run it on high is the extra gig or ram you have. I'm considering upgrading mine.

    you should. it seriously does make a diff. like i've noticed BF2 use 1,500,000 k sometimes in the processes area. so it deffinately like to have a lot of space to run around in.
