XP Sound Problems - Try this out

[JaM]

Guys, i found that game has problems with any mmswitch codecs, Can you do something with it? mmswitch is important to play many sounds at once in video files. I had problems once, with WMP10+uncertified codecs they supplyed,last night i tryed install all in one codeck pack and my problems were back, so i deleted mmswitch.ax file from system32.

I don't know what the problem is exactly but my sounds are erratic. I fire an 84mm RR and sometimes it sounds like a crash, and the next time like a soft fart.

For me yes, Don. Most of the MG sounds and rifle fire, including air strikes were okay. To date I've not encountered any others. I'll keep an ear open.

I'll try some tests today with a 84mm RR . It may be picking up a "stock" sound at times that just doesn't quite sound right

I have a similar problem to everyone else here I think. i deleted a load of extra media players (not winmedia) and managed to get an improvement on most of my sounds but the sounds still sometimes skip or play to late especially during air attacks and in a scenario with Denmark (modified correctly to be Nazi Germany) v Mujaheeden (native rebels in which the enemy DPlmg would not make a sound ever on its second shot.

The delay has been corrected in the CD version and the patch we will issue soon will fix the delay for the DL version as well

I have also sound problems. I reinstalled the game but it didn't helped.
I only hear heavy caliber guns (except arty and air assaults), troopmovements and that's it.

1) What operating system are you using?. It is rather useful to know that before trying to diagnose your problems.
(If you have Vista then read through the threads on Vista below)

2) have you installed the game with all its patches, in order?. It is the later patches that replace the MP3 sound files with WAV. Check your \game data\sounds.ini file - all entries should be pointing to .WAV files after you have correctly patched.

Well I finally got down to the "soft fart" notation on my to-do list and after scratching my head awhile I remembered this post. I loaded up a game with 84 mm RR teams and sent them hunting and all the sounds seemed fine to me. Are you still hearing this on your machine?
