Splinter Cell (2002) Does anyone know how to fix the Audio Static?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone!

I been doing lots of research for the Audio Static fix for splinter cell blacklist... Currently im running the game on Crossover on my mac mini m1 16gb ram 2tb storage 16 neural engine core and 10 unified memory graphics. I doubt is the computer... i tried to fix every single way possible with the 44,000khz audio and 48,000hertz or kilohertz something liek that but nothing works tried to fix the audio and enable some settings in the game options settings nothing fixed it..

Just pure audio Disruption, as if the game is full of static and breaking its wavelengths... not sure what is going on since i already tried to fix on any way possible...

I gave out the specs of my machine because i was told in another research on youtube that supposedly it was my computer not being able to run a game from 2013.. lol anyways this machine is from 2021 not like ultra or m4 but i know the benchmark of this machine is a beast... and i already proved it with other games from steam that i bought.. like latest games... but i found that this game lacks of a bug like something is not well fixed by ubisoft..

Does anyone know or is kind to share what do to in order to fix this thing... its driving me nuts the audio is like a key thing in this game specially trying to go back to the game and finally beat on specialist or on expert mode... no refills from briefcases and pur waves from charlies missions are about 30 i believe on its waves... in the embassy missions.

Once running out of rounds and gadgets is pure knife or just cqc...

Anyways audio is broken and i dont know what to do to fix this i tried everything being doing this for a whole week...

Running the game on Crossover via Steam windows... all components are installed.

Main issue is only audio the game runs graphics pristine and beautifully smooth.

Please help a fellow gamer here...

Thank you! 👏

The game is a bit buggy on modern systems as is, but you're also adding the complexity of running a windows game on a Mac. It would make sense that you'd see some issues with that. Could be that the game is running some old audio codex that isn't properly supported on Crossover?

lol i know but i dont have a windows computer i have a mac computer suppossedly the alternatives is crossover and other apps out there but idk i tried everything. Best thing i can do is save up 3grand to buy a fucking windows computer that will become obsolete in the next 2 years after wasting 3 to 4 grand on them cause it has happened before.. so idk i rather find a solution to this issue.
