Lot more possible fixes in the other comments, from not installing in default directory to reinstalling DirectX.

It's great playing the campaign on our projector and sound system, but my favorite part has to be the Nazi zombies. Fun times

I freaking give up. I CANNOT GET SOUND. Every other game works fine, EXCEPT THIS ONE. How in the hell can activision release something this bugged?

Ive probably reinstalled and repatched this game a dozen times. Ive tried testing each individual patch to see if using an older version of the game is whats needed.

I've tried all the fixes you'll find scouring the internet:

- setting the audio output quality to 16 bits, and 24 its.

No dice.


- I've tried setting audio hardware acceleration to basic.

No dice.

- Disabeling/removing modem duplex device.

No dice.

- ive tried omputer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\C ontrol\MediaResources\DirectSound\Device Presence
Changing the data for Emulated from 1 to 0

No dice.

- Ive removed all redundant audio devices so there is only one. to make sure there is only one device.

No dice.

- I replaced my soundcard.

No dice

- I tried the onboard audio card.

No dice.

- ive tried every patch combination with all of the above tweaks.

NO Freaking dice!

THE GAMES AUDIO DOES NOT WORK. Period. I wonder if i can bring it back to best buy. I want the 12 freaking hours i wasted trying to get this games auido to run back. The entire game may as well be broken in my opinion. Playing a FPS without audio..?? The game may as well not even exist.

I CANNOT believe the released a game this buggy, this trumps SH5 by a longshot.

If anyone has any idea on something i missed, id appreciate it. I REALLY REALLY wanted to play this game. BUt nooooooooooooooooo.


Win XP, SP3 by the way.

Post your sound card type, maybe that can narrow down the problem for us.

Tho, I must say it's a bit odd when both the sound card and the internal one fails.

In the case you have X-fi, here's something from Gamespot forums:

I have found a solution, at least for X-fi xtremegamer. but hey, who knows anyone else can find this helpful.

in the "mixer", you can choose source for RECording -> just select "line-in"

SB audigy, cause its all that was there when i walked into the store.

I even tried moving the soundcard to another PCI slot since it was sharing an IRQ with the video card. Even with a new IRQ, no sound.

edit:

This oddity defies beleif in my book. I have ZERO problems with any other game i play. Have ME1 and 2, Sh4, Sh5, L4d1 and 2, hell, i can load any game i have in my collection and i have NEVER had this much trouble with any single one of em except for maybe "Boiling point". that game was utter failure.... which is kinda how this one is turning up to be in my book. I refuse to play a FPS without sound. THink ill try and bring it back to best buy for a refund in the next day or two. UnFingbelieveable.

[Ducimus]

Well, best buy won't take it back, so im stuck with the worthless POS.

On top of that, activisions COD regestration seems to be broken, so i can't even regester to request help on the offical forum.

All all round fail. Not even their website works correctly. Making Ubi look like the patron saints of functioning software.

Ouch, that blows.
