Kicking Gibs causes loud Static noise?

[MaxxAmmo]

Anyone know how to fix kicking gibs so I don't get a loud static noise each time I bump into one? Thanks!

In your autoexec file add the following:

set kickgibs 0

The sound you are probably hearing is the sound of you kicking the gibs. If you like that effect then you will have to put up with the sound.

Just noticed the same static noise with the death animation, it's just static and hissing.

Sounds kinda like it's picking up the rain sound actually instead of the right sound effect.

Also noticed in Seven's sample autoconfig file he has;
set fleshsplat 0

What does that do? Add blood upon kicking gibs?

The fleshsplat is little "flesh" chunks that fly off your enemies when shooting them. I don't know what might be causing your issue. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in and know what to do. Are you sure you have a "Clean" install of the Quake effects?

Fixed it!

I changed the DP build I was using to one Seven recommended for the Mac and it fixed the static noises. Bonus, I can run the original soundtrack too!
