Sound problem with PBEs

I have terrible lags when under fire from Pulsed Beam Emitters.

-No problem when I use them myself.
-Not a graphic problem, because there are lags as well when fired at from behind.
-No problem with all the other weapons, firing myself or being fired at.
-I have tried various drivers with my Creative X-Fi. Latest installed.
-Last patch 2.0a didn't help (though there are significant improvements

)

Your DirectX install looks a little old - might be worth downloading and installing the latest redistributable.

You have Nero and Cyberlink codecs, both of which have been known to cause issues with X3 - disabling/uninstalling them and re-installling WMP may help.

Also you can try the Combat mod 3's sound files. You can install them without the mod, the reworked sounds were done quite well and it MIGHT just be a problem with that particular sound file that you've got now.

Good option, since it is only one sound not working properly...
but where can I find the new sound files without the mod?

your sound card might need more time to finish one sound before starting another..
