Hi, there.

Seems like the soundprobs went away for most people but me. I have the CD version and 2.0 patch. Sounddriver is the often problematic integrated AC97, processor AthlonXP 1600+, winXP, a fairly ordinary setup. However, I have never exeperienced any problems with this particular sound unit in any other game ever. Oh, and I did the Wave-stuff already. Doesn't work. game freezes in barely a round of action. Have I missed something? Are there more tricks to try?

Read through the entire "Games crashes and flashes" thread. There is info in there on sound problems. Integrated sound IS a problem with some computers and this game but we've found that some third party sound CODEC will give the game trouble as well.

One thing that has caused trouble for some people is mmswitch.ax . if you have it you could try unregistering the mmswitch.ax file by typing the following in Start > Run: regsvr32 /u mmswitch.ax. FYI I don't have it in my system
