Battlefield freeze with sound loop

[Jackal-GI]

Hi murgs.

I dont have the origin in game enabled, the system freeze but its game only, i can ctrl alt tab abd en the bf3.exe process.
So my system is still running fine, installed the new ati 12.1 beta drivers and will give it a go.
Will give feedback shortly.

I think you need to get hold of EA support

I think you need to get hold of EA support

Thats one of the options I mentioned to him also. Dont know if he has tried it though

[Jackal-GI]

Tried it.

No success, they ask me to turn off vsync and anti aliasing and so on.
then they tell me to close all programs running in ther background and the list goes on.

They can't give me a solid solution. Maybe i should just wait untill the next patch

Given that its a sound loop I assume you have tried uninstalling old sound card drivers, rebooting and installing new sound/mobo(if onboard) drivers?
Another thing to try is a driver sweeper, there are some out there that make sure all your old drivers are completely removed as sometimes old dll's cause kak.

Hi Geth i disabled my onboard sound card, but will give the driver sweeper a try.
I am using a usb logitech sound card for now because i read somewhere that the realtek onboard sound cards cause trouble with bf3.
Will gie feedback once tried

[Megageth]

Is it possible that the Logitech card is creating problems? Try disabling that as well.
Or, might be that there are still some realtek drivers active.

i have always had trouble with USB sound cards , but then i have only ever used one, and it lasted one day.
