No Runescape sounds while I am in a second window.

[chaosgone]

I have no sound if I am in a second window.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's what happens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. I'll be fighting a monster, and hear all of the fighting sounds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. I'll switch to a second window to check something else on the Internet, and the sound stops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. If I switch back to the Runescape window, I hear the sounds again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I still hear the CD I'm playing just fine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This applies to other sounds in Runescape. (From cooking, etc.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I never used to have this problem, and it doesn't always happen. Any ideas on what to check?

[la la la]

Maybe it is a hidden update so that people cannot go to other windows and just listen for when they are done woodcutting or whatever, or when a random event comes.

[chaosgone]

Since it is an intermittent problem, I don't think that it is a hidden update.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any other ideas?

As said previously, I think it's probably to stop AFK'ers.

It also happens to me, its nothing new. It seems like it is implemented to stop multitaskers

I NEVER have this problem, and I combo IE6, Winamp, FireFox, and a "Sound Environment Controller".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It sounds like a problem with your PC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check your audio drivers and sound chipset. If they don't have hardware multi-channel capability, then there is your culprit. You might be having a software multi-channel handling problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, check how Windows is handling stuff. System Priority should be on "Programs", not "Background Services". If this is NOT set as I recommend, then change it and try it that way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope all this helps. 8-)

Good idea. I'll give that a try.

I don't have that problem. So it is not a problem with the game. As they said check your system.
