Author Topic: sounds not playing (Read 422 times)

Engine wav is the only sound that works properly. All other sounds seem to be muted. Flaps, MGs, cannons, gear, external sounds, damage, everything else besides engine, engine on/off do not work.

I just installed a new vid card.. not sure how that would affect it though.

specs:

ESC K7S5A motherboard
AMD Athlon 1.2g processor
128 mb pc2100 ram
Geforce3 Ti200 vid card
SoundBlaster Live! Value sound card
running Windows XP

This happens sometimes in IL2 and other games as well. certain sounds refuse to play. any help would be appreciated, thanks =]

There's a virus called w32.hybris.gen that can cause this problem. About a year ago one of my computers was infected with it and the sounds were similarly affected, but configurations were also not being saved and the gunsight would turn white. It's possible you may have this virus.

I'd say the most likely culprit is a driver issue. I'd update the sound card driver.

I've got a similar problem, except it seems to happen only in particular planes, such as the Yak9U. The sounds of the guns and cannon, in particular, are muted to the point of being almost inaudible. In other planes all the sounds play as normal.

See if you can play the sounds in the ../HTC/Aces High/sounds/ directory out of the game. See if ther are fine outside the game.
Also try clicking on the setup button in AH and then click on the sound button. There you can adjust the volume of the sounds.
