There's almost always a torch or a fire going on somewhere in the game. You might have a corrupted fire sound file or somethingYes I can hear the sound everywhere in the game, but a different pitch.
Even in the starting screen or the character selection.
Have you tried setting the sound volume to 80% or so in the Window's sound properties? I had some weird issue where if I set the volume in Windows to 100% it would make strange noises in some games but reducing it to 80% seemed to have solved this problem for me so it may be worth trying. If it's coil whine it should be coming from your PC hardware and not your PC speakers/headphones.Well I have searched a bit and found this Steam forum post > https://steamcommunity.com/app/362490/discussions/0/620713633863165343/
Seem to be a Coil Whine issue.
What I am puzzled with is that I only heard it recently, maybe on of my components is failing.
This only happen at the moment with this game, I don't know If I should be relieved or sad...
Thanks for the suggestion Tony, I am rarely above 60% of the main volume control of the device so unfortunately that is not it.Have you tried setting the sound volume to 80% or so in the Window's sound properties?

Unfortunately no Midcal.Do you have a sound card?
Becuase if you did I could recommend you to disable it and use your mobo to provide the sound, or the other way around. Delete all mobo realtek codecs and disable its builtin sound card in bios in order to use the sound card only. But you can't because you didn't bother getting a 50$ sound card...Unfortunately no Midcal.

Disable your GPU's sound, if you have nvidia it's called Nvidia high definition audio, see if it causes it. If not then uninstall all your sound codecs and install the latest ones unless you have not done it before.
And if you really like exanima you could for example reinstall windows...
Most video cards came with sound software installed by default. Right click on Start, go to System, hardware configuration and then sound. You should see your motherboard software there and your videocard's sound software. It must be present there, otherwise your monitor's speakers wouldn't work for example. If you have Nvidia card it is called High definition audio.Ho no doubt here I like Exanima but no way I am reinstalling Windows to hypothetically fix that issue, my days of Windows XP reinstall routine are long gone.
- Well...I feel like I'm made guilty for not having bought an external soundcard, but maybe I get it wrong.
- The motherboard include a SoundBlaster Recon 3Di chip so no Realtek here.
- I never install the audio driver for Nvidia.
Thanks for you efforts.
By default with plug&pray Windows search for the WHQL driver, but you can decide to install the drivers/software's found on you CD/DVD or more often the last version online at the manufacturer website.Midcal9 said:Most video cards came with sound software installed by default.

Nasty freeze indeed.Midcal9 said:Anyways, I had a different problem with my sound and I think I might have fixed it by disabling all sound software and hardware apart from my sound card. In my case my pc would freeze and lock up with looping sound, it had nothing to do with my hardware overheating or my power supply having some voltage issues. When it would happen while I was playing the newer games I'd have no other option apart from rebooting the PC.
When It happened while I was playing in Dark Messiah 2006 the game engine crashed and I could actually use my pc, browse net, listen to music etc while hearing the looping sound, it's almost as if there were at least 2 different, completely separate sound channels.
Here is what would happen to me;
I'm not smart enough to guess the cause of this unfortunate noise issue, I may sound stubborn but in this day & age a clean install is not an option, too much time involved to do so.Midcal9 said:My best guess is this, you have a sound software issue, something doesn't properly read what is going on in the game. And yes, I would defo reinstall windows for exanima.
Switch all Nvidia outputs off. Not Plugged in is not the same as switched off. Also, try unistalling your sound drivers and installing them again. If that doesn't help then I got no idea how to help you.By default with plug&pray Windows search for the WHQL driver, but you can decide to install the drivers/software's found on you CD/DVD or more often the last version online at the manufacturer website.
In my case I can see the following :

I'll wait the next disaster that force me to reinstall and meanwhile I'll live with that ugly bug buzzing in my ears.
Ok I will test, I don't have much hope but it does not hurt to try.Switch all Nvidia outputs off. Not Plugged in is not the same as switched off. Also, try unistalling your sound drivers and installing them again. If that doesn't help then I got no idea how to help you.
No, not this one, specs here : http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/G1Sniper-Z97-rev-1x#spMidcal9 said:Also, shouldn't your mobo use realtek sound drivers?
That's an older, fancier generation I guess. I got Z170GamingK3. Install the latest BIOS, maybe that will help.Ok I will test, I don't have much hope but it does not hurt to try.
