Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Technical Problems Sound Problem

Ok, Just got Beyond Divinity, loaded the game, and dont have action sounds; opening a barrel, picking up gold, fight sounds, equiping armor, etc....

loaded new patch, didnt fix, unloaded, and reloaded the game from the start, added patch, didnt fix. Not sure what to do now. Also, under the sound options, in the manual it says there is a "comments" option, but that is not present in my game. I have no voice for my hero as well.

I have a new Audigy 2 Platinum ZS soundcard, checked settings in dxdiag, all shows good. Also about 2 months ago I played the demo, and all sounds worked fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can sort of play the game this way, but never hear if someone behind me is attacking me until I see my health start to go down.

Thanks

Do you get sample clips changing the sound effects volume in the options?
Try turning your hardware sound acceleration down a notch (Start | Run, type in dxdiag and hit enter, then switch to the sound tab).

Well, at first I thought it didnt work, as I moved my acceleration down 1 notch to "normal", and that didnt work, so I went down one more to "basic" and it did work, Thanks again. but doesnt that mean I'm not utilizing my soundcard to even close to its potential?

Thanks again,

I'm pretty sure a lower sound hardware acceleration setting just means that more stuff is done in software, so some of the work is transferred from the sound card to the CPU.

i had a few sound based problums with the same SB audigy2 ZS plat pro, for 1 in the act i'm in (act3 and it happed to act2 as well) i get the area music but the main menu music plays as well over the top making it sound a real mess , also if "audio effect" on (well for me i only use the hevey metal mode in advance EQ) no music of voice plays

If it is just the main menu track playing on top of others, you can work around the problem by renaming that file ('..\Beyond Divinity\Wav\music\beyond divinity.ogg').
