No

- If there is a volume dial on the speakers - check those too.

test the above with one of the windows supplied sound files

Tested and the speakers work fine. I can hear the windows supplied sound files.

3) Go into game data/sounds and double click on various sound files, once 1&2 are sorted - do these play? (if not - there is a problem with the data)

Yes they play when I double click on each one.

4) If there are no sounds, or the sounds are only the old MP3 (which were retired since some folks had problems with bad CODECS) then you missed a patch (or installed it somewhere else) with the newer (older) WAV format..

Mine are WAV format

5) open sounds.ini and ensure it's in the format
;

; ties the sound number to a file name
; 0-255
; sound can be an MP3, WAV or other (?) windows sound file type

[soundeffects]
sound000="1click.WAV"
sound001="1.WAV"
sound002="2.WAV"
sound003="Null.WAV"
sound004="4.WAV"
sound005="5.WAV"
sound006="6.WAV"
sound007="7.WAV"
sound008="8.WAV"
sound009="9.WAV"
.. etc

My sound.ini file shows this exactly.

Ie - it is the new one with sounds pointed at the WAV format files. (If not - a patch or more has been misapplied)
|
I've been through the patch update process 3 times and get the same sound problem each time. I don't think I've missed a patch. I also downloaded the free version of the program to make sure my CD version wasn't the culprit. Had the same sound issue with it as well.

(The sounds play fine on my windows 7 laptop BTW - checked that then silenced them as I am a "no sound" type)

That's encouraging. Seems to suggest it is something in my system, not the program. It's weird that my speakers work with every other program but this one though.
Thanks for your suggestions! I really appreciate the help. I'll keep trouble shooting on my end but I'm at a loss as what to do next. Any additional insights from anyone would be welcomed.
Thanks!
