Sound help with XW and TIE CD 95

Stryker412 · 07-05-2012, 03:41 PM

I found my old collector's discs for XW and TF. The games work fine but I cannot get any sound. I'm running these on an old P3 with Windows 2000. I have a Sound Blaster Live card installed. Any suggestions?

The first thing you should do is run dxdiag (a Windows command you can enter in Start>Run) and see if your sound devices are being detected (not sure which tabs you need to check, but they're Sound 1 and Sound 2 in Windows Vista). Another thing you probably need to make sure of is if you're running Service Pack 3 (you can check by right-clicking Computer on your desktop and choosing Properties).

I can get sound from within Windows fine. I'll check my dxdiag when u get home. I also did upgrade Win 2000 to SP4.

Here is my DirectX info for my audio.

Only thing I can think of is that the sound card is on IRQ 9.

Shouldn't be an IRQ problem, as then you wouldn't be able to get sound at all. Maybe someone on the XWA Upgrade forums might know something.

The only reason I suggested the IRQ was that 9 is not an option in the game sound settings. I'll check with the folks over at XWAU.
