    Sound becomes really tinny and low quality

    Been getting this problem a few times lately. I'll start up UT, and from the word go the sound quality is appalling, sounding tinny and crackly until I end the session. Restarting UT doesn't seem to work, and yet rebooting my computer does the trick. Not sure if it's something I've download lately, because I haven't changed anything on my PC that should affect the audio. Help or suggestions much appreciated, sorry for my recent influx of whining about problems!

    a partial fix (but it sucks sometimes): don't move your mouse while starting UT.
    a real fix: open your UnrealTournament.ini, find "Latency" (not SimLatency) and change it to 60

    it should fix your problem, if not, tell me what OS are you using or try OutputRate=22050Hz and is ok, problems are welcome

    Used to have this issue....it's with galaxy. something that processes the sound....usually a close and restart of the game resolves the issue as far as I know it's not an issue that is actually totally repairable..

    --- Updated ---

    Having said that though, ACE itself does work to fix the sound...

    Latency setting (Preferences>Audio>Latency>60) is a good change, why use 22? I use 44.1 and surround and it does it to me to now and then. Oddly I think the moving the mouse while starting UT might actually be why (or minimizing it to finish checking mail) LOL.

    pulseaudio can also cause this, though that's a Linux (usually Ubuntu or Mint) issue.

    I had this all the time, changing the latency to at least 50 fixed it for me, not had it for months now.
