    Default No sound of rifles during battles

    I read the entire official bug thread so I realize there are sound problems. I can hear music playing and orders being given but the fighting is silent. No guns or war cries. Is this something other people have experienced or should I digging into my computer to determine if it is just me.

    BTW sound card driver is up-to-date, tried both Vista and XP

    Thanks!

    Sound is a mess right now in the game, it happened after the Mar 25th patch. The problem is so widespread that I'm assuming CA will include a fix in their next patch, hopefully.

    Like you, I have tested my x-fi xtremeaudio in two machines one with vista64 and one with vista 32, I have also tried built-in realtek. The sound is constantly a mess.

    Yarp... ditto to the above. Your sfx being messed up is normal. I've had some success with getting some sounds back by disabling DEP for empire.exe . Do a search on this forum regarding Data Execution Prevention. Please read the entire thread as some people have good input on the matter.

    Thanks guys. I'll wait a while rather than pulling my hair out right away.

    yep a stack of pple have this problem from the 25/26th "sound hotfix' patch, irony.

    I just hope CA actually know about it, as the hardware techs on yuki forum aint the 'sharpest knives in the draw' and that they patch it asap, (25 days gone by now)

    Patches that decrease game stability/utility are not a great advertisment for CA, nor is the FAct that Stream auto updates this dud patch if you try and re install.

    Surely getting working sound cant be rocket science.
