It's patched with 1.2 only. Heavily modded [15] useing JSGME only.
I can't see why everyone is haveing so many problems.

If everything else fails ..... KISS!:)

Hard to get simpler than no mods touching sound. Your comments would be more helpful if you noted what sound card you have at a minimum. Its helpful to know what is not having problems too.

deck gun sounds silenced no matter what file i use
The deck gun sound does NOT sound the same in game and in WMP.

Basically I have voices and environmental noise. I am currently not running any mods that touch the sound folder.

No matter what. I also get no sound in the menu until I go into Options, sound.

I disabled my SB and reverted to on-board RealTek97 - no change. My current opinion is that sound is totally fubar in this game.

Try a total reinstall. Just my suggestion. I hear all but not the water hissing out of the pipes when damaged.

Wow that narrowed it down a bit... hehe

Yeah, I think I have to give reinstall a try. You know, all this mystery "fix by reinstall" simply points to insane behavior - same actions resulting in different results. I am starting to think much of the mystery behavior is caused by the copy protection code, since it enforces legality by imposing insane behavior...

The bits on my install are exactly what they were when I installed and patched. As far as sound goes though - it has never worked for me.

I must be lucky. With SH3 I was always reinstalling and sometimes it wouldn't have ANY sound and would have to do it over. I always use RegCleaner before new install. It's free.:) Let us know what happens.

Try and comment, may be can help. :up:

Sorry I didn’t respond earlier (school:roll:).

I am using headphones and the setting is on headphones within the Creative Console.

I have tried changing speaker setup and also different headphones.

I also re-seated my soundcard last night and still no luck.

Oddly, while many players can’t hear the clicks from the TBD/Periscope, I can (Yes, I am using 1.2). Go figure.

Does anyone have any other ideas? If not I would like to submit this to the bug report thread.

First, I will start another thread so we can find out who is missing sounds, and what specs they have (for obvious reasons). I would like to narrow it down as best as possible, so that if there is a patch, it can be addressed more easily.

Be sure you change both, windows control to stereo speakers, and X-Fi contol panel to 2.1 too...

Be sure you plug the speakers in the front out into the sound card... i was having same problem and swithcing to 2.1 was solved.

RE install and patch 1.2, replaces same mods, started sh4. Bingo. Menu music, klaxxon, etc. I will see how the rest sounds over the course of normal play.

I am -seriously- holding the copy proptection is question here. The number of installs that should result in identical behavior, but do not... is unusual. I know of no other app on my HD that acts differently everytime I install.

OK, copy protection is off the hook on this one. By a fluke, I pinned this down to *something* in My Documents\SH4...

I copied an old set of savefiles back over the fresh install one that had working sound... no sound was back. Swapping tehm back and forth, I can say it is defnately repeatable - whatever was supressing my sounds was contained in My Documents and a reinstall was probably not required.

I spent quite a bit of time looking for "the" thing causing it, with no success so far.

Anyway - for those having sound issues, try renaming My Documents\Sh4 to something else and starting a new save directory.
