Summary0004340: Loud crackling and hissing sound from speakers when playing in maximized window
DescriptionWhen I try to run the game without maximizing the window, the sound is ok, but as soon as I maximize it, the bug happens.
I tried switching around task priority, graphics mode (from 2D) and turning the sound lower/higher, but it apperas that no matter what I do it still happens. The menu theme and game theme play ok in winamp and on youtube
Additional InformationIt could be my soundcard, tried diffrent speakers, no such problems with any other game using .ogg files.
TagsNo tags attached.

I think this sounds more like a problem with your hardware/software than with DF.
It could just be electromagnetic interference from other parts of your computer (DF tends to be pretty hard on PCs so it may not pop up with other games if they don't cause enough system load) or it could be your audio processing not able to keep up due to all the CPU updates from DF.

Ok. I found out what it was. My stupid audio driver got corrupt, and after deleting them and installing windows default driver, everything works.

Also, one cut finger when playing around with silver tape in order to stop all possible interference.

How do I report it as fixed/not a bug?

I marked it off. Thanks for tracking the cause down.
