Hi Broncoman1980
You don't state what your sound setup is so I'll presume it's onboard (motherboard) and not a separate sound card.
Load the game and on the Options page choose Sound Settings...you'll notice four dials 'General, Music, FX and Speech'....these are all set by default to 0db.
Try upping the FX to say 20 and don't forget to 'Apply Changes', load the game and observe the change.
You can now tweak the others via trial and error to come to an acceptable level that is compatable with your systems sound settings.
