Hi,
This is a really weird annoyance that I am sure is down to something ebing wrong
with the Audio filters on my system. Everything was working fine until I uninstalled
Winamp 5 - since then, some game splash intros and intro movies dont have any sound,
and some games dont have any sound at all!
A few examples: The recent Bad Day in LA demo doesnt playback any sound in any of
the splash intros or the game intro/trailer tiself, but once I get TO the game, music
and sound effects are all present.
Other games, like Oblivion, and Battlefield 2 work just fine with sound in Splash
intros AND the game. Then, in two other cases, in Call of Cuthulu: Dark Corners of
the Earth and Flatout 2 more recently, there is no sound AT ALL either in the game
or in the intros.
IVe tried reinstalling winamp, installing new AC3 drivers, and I really dont know
what can be causing this as under XP all movies and mp3s and OGG files and whatever
uses sound is just fine.
I incidentally use an Audigy 2 ZX Soundcard. Drivers are also up to date, as is DirectX.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!
