Same.. but what sound setup do you have?

BTW - The Developer: Cyanide, has directed North Americans to the distributor since it seemed to be a unique problem here. I have looked at the Cyanide forums and seen that there some people complaining about the same issue.

The official forum on the game's website told people to contact the North American distributor Atlus. So I just sent them an e-mail. We'll see what they say.

In Windows: Disable the sound card's effects. This sounds like an echo effect. The problem with consumer audio cards is they come with a ton of features that nobody should ever use. I went with a pro audio card a decade ago and have never looked back. Make sure that the Default Format of your playback device is set to 16-bit audio. Also, you should disable onboard audio unless you really know what you're doing. And check Creative's website for a driver update.

I found this on the web regarding X-Fi echo issues in games:

Disable both CMSS-3D settings

CMSS-3D Virtual is for those who dont have surround speakers. This option gives virtual surround over the stereo speakers. Dont use this is you have 4.1 or 5.1 speakers

CMSS-3D Surround is for those who have surround speakers but use it for playing back stereo source signal (such as a CD) Gaming audio is not stereo - it is surround sound so there is no need for CMSS-3D Surround which is an upmix. But it is handy for listening to music - try with and without it.

Do you have the "listen to this device" setting checked on any of your recording devices? That could also be problematic.

"listen to this device" is unchecked. I also disabled my sound card and enabled my onboard sound and still had this issue. I have updated all my motherboard drivers and updated the bios but still experiencing the audio echoing and seems like its slowed as well.

Upload DxDiag.txt to Pastebin. I need to see the whole file.

It would also be helpful if you uploaded a list of running processes.

Open a command prompt and type: tasklist>C:\processes.txt

You'll find the output file in the root directory.

You also never said whether you disabled all of the effects/enhancements.

* Go to Control Panel- Sound
* Right click on the Speaker/Headphones icon and choose properties
* Click on the Enhancements tab
* Select the Disable all enhancements check box
* When finished, restart the PC

I disabled all of the effects/enhancements. It still has audio problems.

Open a command prompt and type: tasklist>C:\processes.txt Cant get this to save the file.
