Sound Problem (Very Choppy)

[Hank228]

A friend of mine just got Fallout and installed it, but his sound is very choppy.

(Reason I'm posting is because he can't make an account)

When he opens SOUND.EXE, THIS is the only setting that works, however, it is VERY choppy for him:

This is his dxdiag sound tab:

Also, he tried to turn the sound acceleration off, but it doesn't help him.

Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same problem, the only settings the game accepts are those listed by Hank, and with those settings the sound interrupts every second, it's unplayable that way.

Has anyone found a solution till now?

Thanks in advance, StaTich

Try turning down the hardware sound acceleration in the directx tab.

I tried that with no success, is there a problem that I installed the game with the big option and not humongous? I mean the installer is buggy. and to have the space required for humongous I need to delete like 15GB of things from my hard.

Maybe there is a solution with dos box or some thing like that? Cause I really want to replay the game.

There's a nice manual install guide.

Thanks for the link and help, it still haven't worked... and I finished the game in the mean time, I will just google the ending videos so I can see them with sound.
