OK. So, I bought the Windows 8.1 cd; I went through the whole partitioning process; I installed Windows; I installed SHIII; and . . . . . it launches and seems to be ok except that (I've not actually played, just fumbled around in the tutorials, because. . . ) I have no sound. Remember that I’m a bit of a dummy with Windows system but I’ve tried the obvious and the sound is not muted on the Mac, I've checked the volume level in Windows and I've twiddled the dials in SHIII. Nothing; not the faintest glimmer of sound. In fact there is no sound from Windows at all. I’ve fumbled around in the control panel and device manager and the “sound theme” is default but there are no clicks or other sounds except from the mouse button itself; device manager (audio in/out) says the speakers are working properly and the drivers are up to date; and the HD audio device is also working properly and drivers are up to date, but there is no sound at all when using the speaker configuration test.

Restart in MacOS and everything is fine which suggests that it is something in Windows, though I know not what. As I’ll use Windows only for SHIII I switched almost everything off on the install and I wonder if I’ve switched off something important. I’ve scoured the control panels and the device manager and can see nothing obvious.

What do I do next?
