Glad you got it working. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />
Think anyone would notice if I edited out the part above where I said that probably wasn't the problem? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Apparently the sound effects are small enough that the game / DirectX tries to use the hardware buffer to play them, while the rest go through a software buffer. Your sound chips may not support a hardware buffer. The dxdiag sound test lists the audio format it just played and whether it used a software or hardware buffer when it asks if you heard the test sound. If any of the hardware buffer tests worked (assuming it keeps testing after the first error), then it may just be a problem with a particular format or DirectX call.
