Hi, I've read all the forum to find a solution for my audiuo problem with Cave Story but there isn't....
However, I have great problem with the musics, some notes are TOO loud and there isn't even the possibility to shut down the audio of the game.
I've tried to do what you said in some other post (Disabling the Hardware Acceleration and putting on "standard" the bitrate), but this only removes the bad notes.
Anyone has the solution, please?

Have you already tried updating your soundcard drivers?

Well, yes.
It was the first thing I did after updating my video driver immediatly after reinstalling Windows, five days ago...
However, I have a Sound Blaster Live! 24 bit, could this be a problem?

I don't know... I've never experienced sound issues, and as such, all my knowledge of how to fix them comes from the forums.

In the rare cases where turning hardware accelleration off hasn't fixed it, I think updating drivers always has.

My next suggestion would be to update your directx drivers.

The suggestion after that would be to downgrade your sound drivers if possible.

Isn't that taking things a little too much to the extreme? :(

Chances are your audio drivers OR your version of DirectX were to blame. These are the most likely causes. If it happens again, try upgrading (or rolling back) your drivers, and updating DirectX to the latest version.

Running the DX diagnostic tool (start -> run -> dxdiag) reveals that I'm running DX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) I have no problems running CS with this version, so if yours is of an inferior version number, you might want to consider upgrading it. The sound tab will allow you to run a number of tests which can help isolate problems, if there are any.

If that doesn't turn up anything, then your sound card drivers may be at fault. I can't help you there since it's a case-by-case basis thing. You should find your sound card manifacturer's website and look for the most up to date drivers for your card, however, and make sure they're the ones you're using. A reboot may be necessary.

If it turns out the new drivers are causing the problem, roll back to a previous version and continue using that. ;)

DX IS made by MS. It's their multimedia API.
