Sound Works in Local Co-Op But Not NET Co-op or MP (likely cause - Mumble, solution?)

[ryan d ale]

Hi.

Sound Options are Software and on Medium.

Here is my audio situation:

Local Co-op - Works
Net Co-op Doesn't work
Net MP doesn't work

However, Mumble ALWAYS works.

It is only the in-game noises which aren't being directed to the headphones output (or the speaker for that matter).

I tested this twice with local and online play with the same results.

I am inclined to believe this is some kind of interruption caused by Mumble.

Any ideas?

Possibly fixed: I checked the 'exclusive' box to Audio IP and Audio OP last time I had sound problems.

I wondered what the option did without thinking the obvious (that it makes the hardware selected exclusively for the purpose of Mumble).

Keep the thread up mods and I will add some useful tags if this is fixed.
