BF4 Sound bug fix

Found a fix for the half sound bug 

if your audio does something like this 

http://youtu.be/OQU-X0dDujY [youtu.be] 

then it'll work for you 

instructions are in the description 

basically, it seems bf4 is set to using 20 audio channels, and low audio quality, and needs the quality put up, and the channels changed from 20 to 32(low end sound cards) or 64(typical sound cards) 

works, haven't had the problem since 

goto the folder documents/battlefield 4/settings 
and find the file PROFSAVE_profile 

change the line GstAudio.AudioQuality 0(may be different) 
to:GstAudio.AudioQuality 4 

this changes it to wartapes quality audio 

then find the line with GstAudio.SoundSystemSize 20(may be diff) 
and change it to GstAudio.SoundSystemSize 64 
or GstAudio.SoundSystemSize 32(if your sound card is cheapo) 

this changes the amount of audio channels BF4 can use, 20 is really really low, which means in big audio situations with alot going on, the sounds get cut off. 

and this one is optional, GstAudio.StereoMode 0 
to GstAudio.StereoMode 1 

so to recap the lines should be: 

GstAudio.AudioQuality 4 
GstAudio.SoundSystemSize 64 
GstAudio.StereoMode 1 


also for those of you having problems with punkbuster, you should look into www.punkbuster.com and get PBsetup.exe to mannually update your punkbuster 


Optional: download .net framework 4.5 search google for ".net 4.5" 
Optional: download latest directx redist search google for "directx redist" 
^ these fix other possible problems.

    For those of you who are crashing with sound loop, thats a totally different problem, your sound loop is a symtom of yer crash, not a cause

    Go look at thermal, ram and psu issues for your fix

    Still getting sound loops at the end of a match and audio cutting out for ~1 second, although distant sounds and others are still audible.

    This is new, and happened on an install which has previously worked fine.

    May have started after I got my Vive?

    Not sure if that helps anyone else, but I'm not gonna uninstall the drivers for that just yet.
