You may or may not have discovered that BF1942 has a issue with sound cards, I discorved this after suffering really bad laggy gameplay on and offline. now considering that ive got a Pentium 4 1.7, 512 ddr ram and a GF4 4600 128 ddr graphics card i was somewaht at a loss of what was causing the problem. Ahh i thought maybe its xp pro ! and prombtly switched o's to win98 but no still the same problem, as soon as things got busy in the game it crawled to a fps of 2 and was unplayble causing much ownage apon me.
I almost disspaired BUT THEN... After trawling the net i found the answer ...my sound card. not the make but the fact that i had one.
a quick trip to direct x diognostics, and click to the sound tab, a slide of the hardware accelrated to none and my mastering of the MPUK server Could start. all was good...and there was peace...


So the moral of this boring and longwinded post..if your getting laggy slow framerates then i suggest you take hardware acceleration to none in the sound section of direct x diagnostics
I know this works for the hurcules Muse xl and my card the soundblaster live Platinum

Advance AC'97 Codecs, but i think the card model number could be an AL 200
