Question Sound loop bug when gaming on Windows XP ?

[Alienfirefox]

\Hello all
I have an isue with my windows xp machine
I keep getting a sound loop in games
Its usually npcs but the sound just keeping looping and won't go away. I can leave the area and the sound goes away however

I am guessing this is likely to do with sound acceleration

any ideas?

Is those events related to system crashing or freezing? If yes, then the looping sound may just be a side effect, not necessarily a sign there is actually a bug with the sound system at all.

nope the game continues to play as usual but a single sound will keep looping like a gunshot will keep playing over and over

Ok, so then there is a bug, either in game or driver, maybe both. Or there may be a hardware error. I assume this must be a pretty old computer?

Ok, I'm not sure about this, but I do have this feeling that this prepped 32bit system that can address >4Gb RAM may not play along very nice under every circumstances.
