sross112 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Well, took a little hiatus after the sound suddenly quit a few months ago. Would like to get back to playing, but I re installed and it still doesn't work. I went on line and purchased CMSF again, and it still doesn't work. Game runs fine, just doesn't have sound. Clean re installs. Sound option is on. Any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 What sound card/chip do you have ? Have you already cycled through the sound option a couple of times (to see if it 'unsticks' in some manner) ? Do you have any mods installed, especially sound mods ? None of the patches should make a difference for sound to my knowledge. Which patch are you on at the moment (1.32 being the latest/last) ? It's possible that an update to your sound driver MAY help in this situation (even though you hear sound in other applications). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sross112 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Nvidea and realtek, both have the most updated drivers. Also updated Nvidea card just on a whim and that didn't do it either. No mods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 So you get no sound the entire time you launch CMSF (from the intro to the 3D battlefield) ? You have already tried 'Alt-S' in game and have seen the 'Sound Off' and 'Sound On' labels change with your keystrokes, correct ? From the 'Options' menu in the main menu, 'Sound' is set to 'On', correct ? Have you enabled and disabled your 'Realtek HD Audio' adapter within the Device Manager ? On occasion this may help 'reset' an audio adapter so that it is seen properly. If necessary, you may want to completely uninstall your Realtek audio driver (from the 'Programs and Features' control panel), reboot and then reinstall the latest driver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sross112 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Yep, nothing from the beginning. I've done all that except the re install of the driver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sross112 Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 The other thing I don't get is that CM Normandy sound works just fine. Aren't these the same engines? Why would sound work on one and not the other? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yes, CMBN and CMSF share a core engine (though it has been modified quite a bit for CMBN). The only thing I can suggest at this point is to uninstall your audio drivers and reinstall them (rebooting in between uninstalling and reinstalling). Hopefully CMSF will pick up the audio with the drivers being reinstalled. I don't know what sound API the CMx2 family uses, but I do NOT believe that it is DirectX's DirectSound. Most likely a cross-platform open source API, but I don't know which one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon28501 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I've got the same problem with the demo. The sounds cuts in and out. Mainly out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
