Thank you col.1. Good suggestion. I followed it. I have a Shuttle XPS barebones system with their custom motherboard running a first-gen Corei7 chip. The Shuttle website only offers a very old audio driver. After checking on the audio chipset, I got Realtek's AC888 latest HD Audio driver (which does date back to 2011). Problem NOT solved but I'll keep looking for updates. As to FPS, I am down to about 30ish FPS at 1980*1200 from being maxed-out before. I therefore confirm that there is also a huge FPS hit when using Win8. See also my original post on emulation modes in Win8 which are even worse for FPS. Hoping for a solution soon! Solar Hydro

Hello all, I am running the Windows 8 Consumer Preview which was released this week. Continuum works, but there is no sound. I have now tested the following: a) Win 8 compatibility mode for Win 7, Win XP SP3, Win 95, to no avail (there are some other compatibility options which I did not test as I considered them implausible). I have no sound in any of these compatibility modes, and horrible FPS in all of them, except Win 7. As suggested in-game, running in administrator mode. This did not help. c) Toying in the Subspace options with sound quality. This did not help. I seem to recall that on the Windows 8 developer release in 2011, it worked fine including sound (I deleted that - so I cannot compare now). Any suggestions welcome. Sincerely, Solar Hydro
