Sound Problem for Patches 6.1/ 6.2

**BeefBriskets** · June 23, 2009, 08:35 AM

OK, I downloaded SS 6.0 and then the patch 6.1 and tested it out. None of the sound worked other then when there's events (ex: Mongol Invasion, First Huge Cathedral) There is no Battle sound, no music, the agents and characters don't call you anything either. When you tell them to move they do it silently. So basically, the whole game is mute other then events. So, I thought this might be a glitch for 6.1 only. I downloaded the patch 6.2 which included some extras (FullInstallerApril8.exe and the CampaignPatchApril23.rar)

And the sound didn't work for that time either. so I reinstalled it and installed the patches again. Still didn't work. I tried the German version fix in here:

and the sound still doesn't work. And I'm sure that it's not my speakers because they work fine for everything but this.
Help?
forgot to add. I have a Vista, but this doesn't match any problems in that thread.

Check your sound settings. Other than that, I'd reinstall the whole game up to 6.1 with no extras checked.

Sound settings are default. All of the Volumes are at max level.

Check your other versions of Kingdoms and Vanilla, then. If they're fine, you'll know its SS and thus try to reinstall. If they're not, check your sound card or any other sound related process or task outside of M2.

Then it might be SS because Medivel 2 TW works fine, and also any kingdoms expansion.

I'll try reinstalling SS, but I don't have alot of faith

Because I've reinstalled it before...

i have had sound trouble in the past with some mods. try reinstalling kingdoms and vanilla. labourous i know, but SS is worth a try. And without using admin you can get problems. Its likely that if you simply log on to admin then you may be able to play it just fine.

When you installed the sound fix, did you delete events.idx and events.dat from the SS\data\sounds folder?

Also seeing as you are running Vista, make sure you have turned UAC off.

And bugs/problems should be posted in the bug reports subforum
