They do sound a LOT more like they should topside now, and less like a machine-gun up top. I also had my splashing sounds back as the boat moved through the ocean.
This brings up a question though. If this is the correct download, what the heck is linked on the GWX site? Can't the GWX team link to the files on MediaFire that you linked to me? I have been digging for over a week and found many others with sound issues like mine on both the official Ubisoft forums and other places, as well as one or two here.
Now, to make this easier for others, I am going to edit my initial post with the solution and what is not needed, such as compatibility mode. SH3 is 100% Windows 7 compatible and does not need anything special to run. Anyway, thanks to everybody for their suggestions and to Jimbuna for the solution. The diesels are still quiet, but loud enough to hear at 1/3 and very audible above that.

First off, I'm pleased your sorted.
The links on the website are to the same files as those on my Mediafire account, files used by thousands of GWX users since its release.
What we have noticed over the years are a small number of users reporting issues, so on two separate occasions we have updated the website with those from Mediafire.
There are many who have re-downloaded or re-installed the website files and experienced a successfull outcome so it is way beyond my or anyone else understanding what the problem must be I should imagine.
The GWX team ceased to exist a few years ago and as such I am one of the few still around and act as the repositry for the original files and the odd piece of advice when needed but judging by the number of GWX users here that is seldom needed.
My role here as a moderator on SubSim is a totally separate function.
SINK EM ALL!!
