Windows 7 ingame freeze on win7 when playin without USB (siberia v2)

[jukazy]

Hello there !

My cod4 freezes everytime when im tryin to play with speakers and not with
headphones.. (ss siberia v2) now i tried a lot of things.. and basicly i cant listen to music or anythin on my speakers when i put my usb (siberia v2) on.. coz they have their own sound card.. So I tried to connect my headphones not on usb but on back of the computer.. MIROPHONE WAS CONNECTED ALSO.. and it still freezed (i could listen on speakers and headphones) but i found out that u have to have your microphone pluged in to play cod4 on win7 x64.

how to fix that.. coz i find it that my weapons are shootin a bit faster and reg is also better when im not plaiyn with headphones ( i mean her soundcard) so that means that they cause some lags.. i read that can cause problems. This can sound really weird to you, but its true.. i tested it 999 times.. pls help how to make them both running at same time (speakers and headphones) without freezing or just how to make game work smoothly and to have sick REG with headphones, like i have without them.

btw its not about computer and fps.. i have steady 250.

thanks for reading !

Hope u will have some answers =)

It seems like you're experiencing a unique issue with your Call of Duty 4 game freezing when using speakers instead of headphones. This could be related to conflicts between the different sound devices and settings on your computer. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Sound Settings:
   • Check your sound settings on your computer to ensure that both the USB sound card for your headphones and the onboard sound card for your speakers are recognized and configured correctly.
   []Driver Updates:
   • Update the drivers for your sound cards, both the USB sound card for your headphones and the onboard sound card for your speakers. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause conflicts and issues.
   []Sound Card Selection in Game:
   • Check the in-game sound settings in Call of Duty 4 and make sure you have selected the correct audio device for both input (microphone) and output (speakers/headphones).
   []Compatibility Mode:
   • Try running Call of Duty 4 in compatibility mode for Windows 7 to see if that resolves the freezing issue. Right-click on the game's executable file, go to Properties, and then select the Compatibility tab to make the changes.
   []Game Settings:
   • Adjust the game settings to lower quality or disable features that may put a strain on your system, even though you have a steady 250 FPS. This could help reduce any potential conflicts.
   []Reduce Background Applications:
   • Close any unnecessary background applications that might be consuming resources and conflicting with the game's performance.
   []Realtek HD Audio Manager:
   • If you have Realtek HD Audio Manager installed, check its settings to ensure that both sound outputs are recognized and configured correctly.

     Regarding the Microphone Requirement:​

     • It's unusual that the game requires a microphone to be connected for proper gameplay. This behavior might be specific to how the game detects sound devices on your system.
     • If the requirement persists, you may need to keep the microphone connected to play the game smoothly, as you've observed.
     Try these steps and see if they help resolve the freezing issue in Call of Duty 4 when using speakers. If the issue persists, please provide any additional details or updates on your progress so that we can further assist you.
