Soundproblems - lowering my fps

Hey Leute. I wonder if any of you knows the solution to a sound problem i'm having.
After a few minutes of gameplay my fps will decrease gradually, causing me to disable all sounds, or else it wont run fast. I've had this problem before but I had forgotten about it and also don't remember how it fixed itself or got fixed.

This time it appeared when I tried my new joystick and ran the game from the cd to play singleplayer, thing which I haven't done in a long time.
So I assume its not the joystick since i've had the problem before but it could be related with singleplayer or running the game from drive (i always start from xfire).
I remember in the past i upgraded by sound drivers but that didn't fix it. So that's it, if you can tell me the problem i'd be much appreciated

Vielen dank

Yes my sound quality is in lowest settings but still happens. that game still needs a hashkey right?

Re: Soundproblems - lowering my fps

What is your sound card? You could try enabling Hardware Acceleration in Sound Options.

Re: Soundproblems - lowering my fps

For some reason that option isn't available for enabling. The soundcard is in the motherboard

It fixed the sound problem Denny thanks. However I can't change to my own cd key, it will say invalid cd key for some reason..

Re: Soundproblems - lowering my fps

had similar probs with CPU which has the 'Hyper-threading' shit(fake 2 cores), and when more then few players appearing in my 'hearing zone', i had got fps like 5-10, not sure, but probably that is because of software sound that using CPU resources without 'coordination', curiously that switching off 'Hyper-threading' in BIOS didnt really help, also was much better.. there are couple solutions how make it better

Re: Soundproblems - lowering my fps

Well i fixed cd key thing but turns out sound is not quite okay yet. its weird. I played a few rounds and noticed it was okay, than i installed infmod again and added the if_pack2009. Maybe it has something to do with that? anyway its a really annoying problem

Re: Soundproblems - lowering my fps

Try enabling hardware acceleration in BF1942 Sound Options or lowering quality to 22kHz. Most probably it can be a sound card driver problem.
