SolarHydro Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited March 3, 2012 by SolarHydro

Guest col.1 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Well, Win 8 has some sound driver issues. Go to your MB makers site and see if they have a new audio driver available. I did this, and it fixed my issues. I have noticed that I get terrible FPS using win 8. I went from about 200 fps on win 7 to about 20 fps on WIn 8. Any one have any suggestions?

🜲 PoLiX Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Sad but true. Until we get more games involved in Windows 8 issues (many are chucking it off to not supporting it yet looking at tech support forums on other game sites) gonna be hard to figure our own out. I myself normally search for the same issues on other game forums, and normally find a fix. But as I said, seeing a lot of "We're not supporting Windows 8 just yet, sorry" type replies.

SolarHydro Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Posted March 22, 2012 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 Well, Win 8 has some sound driver issues.

Guest YPP Posted June 7, 2012 Report Posted June 7, 2012 Microsoft guys please help....Is there any sound issues are there? We should upgrade our win 7 to 8 or not?
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Posted June 10, 2012 Continuum works fine in windows 8 release preview. Getting into/out of zones takes like an extra 2-3 seconds but everything works.
Guest ali Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 hey Microsoft, I had installed my win 8 consumer preview, it is very good but I had a problem that my audio is not working it is saying there is no audio device connected and it is saying one or none audio device isn't working
🜲 PoLiX Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 Seems if you google "Windows 8 Consumer Preview Sound Not Working" this thread is the number 1 search result. Odd... http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-sound/i-have-no-sound-in-windows-8-consumer-preview-how/faca951a-97fb-4843-8302-1620f767b12d Might help those ending up here. And while you are here, [advert] maybe give Continuum a shot.

Cheese Posted June 19, 2012 Report Posted June 19, 2012 please dont say "addicting", because it will just tell everyone that you are an idiot and they wont play because you never learned what "addictive" means SSC Distension OwnerSSCU Trench Wars Developer3:JabJabJab> sometimes i feel like when im in this mood im like a productive form of CheeseDr Brain> Pretty much everything you said was wrong.
