Escape From Butchered Brain (Realtek ALC655 audio weirdness bug; warbly voices/sounds)
6Real hardware capture in 4:3 aspect ratio.
FOR YOUR CHEAP AMUSEMENT, I PRESENT FUNNY HAHA POSITIONAL AUDIO GLITCH. ONLY ON REALTEK! BEHOLD THE SILLY WARBLED VOICES.
Just a strange bug in The Chronicles Of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay (Developer’s Cut, version 1.0) that occurs whenever hardware 3D audio is enabled on the Realtek ALC655. Makes characters speak with a warbly voice and sound effects become screwy because of aggressive pitch-shifting happening whenever you move your character and/or camera view. Realtek AC’97 4.06 drivers were used with the ALC655 in this capture (hadn’t tracked down older drivers at this point in time). The Corsair RAM was not clocked to its specified ratings but instead ran with stock timings and frequency from the K8T Neo BIOS (333MHz with looser timings) for this video. Also, V-Sync was enabled in the game which is why the frame-rate jumps between 30 and 60 Hz so aggressively.
Sorry for fuzzy video quality. I should have gone for a higher resolution to make the upload show up as an “8K” video (if it’s even possible as I have had no success so far with stupidly high-res test captures at 2-3 seconds).
This footage and audio was captured from the following computer:
MSI K8T Neo (MS-6702, Ver 1.0) motherboard (manufactured August/September 2003)
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor (manufactured week 33 2003)
VIA K8T800 chipset
ATi Radeon 9800XT (256 MB) video card (manufactured week 42 2003)
RealTek ALC655 integrated sound (K8T Neo)
1 GB (2x512MB) Corsair XMS Pro PC3200/DDR400 (CMX512-3200C2PRO) DDR SDRAM/memory (manufactured week 40 2003)
Microsoft Windows XP (SP3) operating system
The capturing was done with VCS (which can be found on the Internet Archive) and OBS Studio using a Datapath VisionRGB-E1S PCI-Express capture card plugged into an ASUS Maximus IV Extreme motherboard with an Intel Core i7-2600K using 8 GBs of DDR3 SDRAM and an nVidia GTX 580 video card installed (basically, using my 2011 “vintage” PC). A DVI cable is connected between the source computer and the Datapath capture card to enable video capturing. Audio capture was done by feeding a 3.5mm stereo jack cable into the line in on the ASUS Maximus IV Extreme motherboard from the sound card of the vintage computer. Resizing/upscaling of the raw original 1024x768 capture to 4096x3072 was done using VirtualDub2.
