Medal of Honor: Sound Issues

[Thoric]

i have just installed medal of honor - allied assault, but there is no sound effects.

there is music, engine noises, speech, but no noises such as gunfire etc.

i have direct x 8.1, windows xp and just installed the latest audio pci drivers.

So it didn't work with the inbuilt XP driver?

[Thoric]

no

it prompted when it was installing to upgrade to direct x, and i had 8.1 so it didnt...then when i played the game it has no sound, i quit went online and got the creative drivers, no help...

Very strange Thoric.....

I have MOHAA running perfectly with a SoundBlaster Live!, maybe we could ask if anyone here has a SoundBlaster PCI128 like you? :?:

Did you use Windows Update (WU) to update your sound drivers? I built a PC awhile back for a customer and after a few weeks she had sound problems. I had set the WU to autoupdate and it had found and installed a "newer" driver that had passed "certification". Fine, but all it did was frig up the sound completely.....MP3's were all scratchy, etc. I downloaded the drivers from the sound card manufacturer. Then over Windows strong objections to the "unsigned driver"; I installed it, which corrected the problem.

yay i got it working :), i tried re-installing the game completly, bingo....:p :p

btw, i updated my sound card drivers via soundblasters site.

thanks anyway guys for your ideas. :thumb:
