Guest Frost_Wyrm Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 So i just installed my vista again and I installed continuum back, but noticed that it didn't have any sounds at all. Not the starting lightning effect, no menu clicking sounds and no in-game sounds. From options I have checked that my sound mode is on and quality is default. Also that my speakers are on and I hear all other sounds fine. Tried to re-install it also. Anyone got a clue? Also noticed that if I put 3D sound effects on, i hear them (shooting and bombs), but cant hear anything else (pouncing from wall, engine sounds etc..). I just want to hear my flagbell timer. Please help.
Samapico Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 Maybe some issue with DirectX, make sure you get the latest DirectX version. You could try running DxDiag and test the sound there.You could also try playing the wav files manually in some media playerMake sure you have Windows set to show file extensionsIn the Continuum\sounds folder, you get a bunch of .wa2 files...Rename some to .wav and try to play them in whatever program you use for audio
Shock Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 Same problem here. I have my monitor hooked up HDMI, so my sound _should_ come out through my monitor speakers, but it doesn't on Continuum. So I use a set of regular speakers and I hear all sounds except for Continuum sounds. No idea what to do here.
Guest Frost_Wyrm Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 I already have directx 11 and the latest version of my driver, so it cant be that. And the sounds played in windows media player normally.
Samapico Posted February 7, 2010 Report Posted February 7, 2010 Are your speakers in the monitor, via HDMI, like Shock?
Guest Frost_Wyrm Posted February 8, 2010 Report Posted February 8, 2010 Nah, my monitor doesn't have speakers. I have logitech speakers connected to the pc by the normal green 3,5mm plugin.
Shock Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 Um. Just a quick note. You may want to make sure you've got the right audio driver for your motherboard. A few times, I've had it download a driver via windows update and install, but it was completely the wrong driver. Windows fails because some device and hardware I.D's are identical, so you get stuck with the wrong driver. Just something to try. Also, you may want to take a look at the Vista and 7 support threads here. I'd give DEP a shot for sure. It's known to cause a few problems.
Guest Frost_Wyrm Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 Got it working thanks to Shock. Windows said that my audio driver is up to date, so I tried to download it for the internet. And downloaded Realtek High Definition Audio driver and boom it worked Problem solved, thanks you all for your help.
Shock Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 Ah, awesome. With HD audio, you need the Microsoft UAA driver as well. There was probably some sort of missing part or corruption there. Glad you got it working.
Samapico Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 Interesting Shock, are YOUR drivers up to date?
Shock Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 Yes, actually. I wasn't really referring to up-to-date as much as I was having the right driver.. but whatever works. I'm currently fighting a series of blue screens, so I've had to individually update all of my drivers to please the people at techsupportforum.com while they help me. Haha.
