Sound Issue for Third Age-Total War

[Smash63]

Okay, after downloading the mod for TATW, I am experiencing no sound of any kind (marching troops, thunder, battle sounds, speech, etc.) while in the campaign or custom battles. I have tried at least 5 different factions...same result. Medieval II-Total War and Kingdoms run just fine...no issue with sound. The mute button while within TATW is not checked and all the audion bars are maxed out to the right. All of my audio drivers and Vista files are up to date....checked that just a bit ago. Yes I am running Vista. Sound is running fine for multiple other games I have and like I metnioned earlier my sound is fine on MIITW and Kingdoms. I have reloaded MIITW and Kingdoms multiple times, re-downloaded the patches up to V1.3 for MIITW and the Kingdoms patch multiple times and re-downloaded TATW Mod multiple times but none of that has worked....same result. I also tried downloading the TATW V1.4 patch just to see if that would clear it up....It did not.

Is there perhaps a patch or mod I am missing that is essential to this working correctly?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nope, but I definitely would suggest you to read this thread, especially since you have Vista:

If it do not fix it I would guess your download have corrupted soundfiles, and then you should redownload TATW

while downloading don't do anything else on the internet.
