Sound effects and speech problem

Scorpius · 05-15-06, 03:08 AM

I have a problem that i am unable to fix.

My sound effects and voices refuse to play, yet music and ambience sounds like engines, bullet velocity sounds, aircraft sounds, chronometre sounds etc. But i do not hear explosions, gunfire, any kind of voices or torpedo sounds.

I have tried doing a full reinstall and attempted to play with a clean 1.4b install but its always the same.

If its something to do with windows media player, like i guess it would be, i am also having trouble installing that. Since SH3 uses ogg files, i downloaded about 3 different variations of the codec but still no sound effects or voices.

When i finish installing SH3 or if i try to install a brand new copy of windows media player, i get the following error message.

Since i know this must be related to the sound problem, can anyone tell me how to install windows media player and bypass this problem?
