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

But it worked perfectly to start off with that is what is so weired about this problem. Sometimes the sounds don't play at all even when I move a helicopter it does not play the sound sometimes, or if I fire any weapon sometimes the weapon will make no sound either, this did not happen to start off with so i think it is a fresh problem of sorts.

I think it has something to do with the sounds stacking up on one another. For some reason the game now no longer wants to play sounds over one another anymore. This is strange since before I could move AFVs and heaven knows what else in quick succession and no sound would be lost. I) therefore think the solution in this case lies in finding a piece of software/hardware within the game or without that forces the game to play one sound and one only till it is complete before playing any others. Any ideas would be most helpful since I feel this is a problem that is effecting many people and since i feel that this idea could solve the problem. Please suggest especially what edits will be neccessary to deal with this problem

Thanks in advance!

If you use the method up top the game crashes bz the way.

Please define "But it worked perfectly to start off with " Did you install the game, play for a week or so then this problem started? What version are you playing? CD or DL?

It worked fine for about a month during which I spent my time playing a few Vietnam games on it and making the refinements to the Danish OOB. These refinements had no effect on qaulity of sound neither did the extra ones I added in/replaced old ones with. Then something went wrong. The sounds did not play well at all. The version I have is DL (WINSPMBT) and I installed media player 10 after I installed the game.
