I just installed SH4 in windows 8.1 and installed patch no sounds such as enemy destroyers pinging, crash dive alarms, crew to battle stations, get other sounds, music, ambient sounds...any thoughts

Welcome Aboard!

I'm not sure what the problem may be. I just installed SH4 to my own 8.1 system and everything works fine.

Where did you install it to? Program Files? Sometimes Windows doesn't like us putting things in there. I created my own pathway: C/Steve's Stuff/Games/UBISoft/SH4.

I'm sorry I don't have more information for you at this time.

As Steve rightly advises, try not to put any installations into DriveC.

Actually all my games are in drive C - just not Program Files.

'Program Files' was what I meant
