Sound problem in Windows 7?

Prophet · 11-09-09, 04:07 PM

Just completely finished the transition from XP to Win7. I love it, first off, so if you're still weighing your options, go ahead and GET IT!

But in SH4 something seems to have gone wrong. In a normal game, I can hear things like my crew, my engines, the music, and things like that. However, I can't hear other sounds, such as the ticking sounds from the stadimeter/TBT/periscope/other TDC functions, but most importantly, I can't hear sonar contacts at all. No sound in the sonar station. I can hear the background noise, and the indicator light comes on when I get a good contact, but I can't hear the contact itself. I like being able to do that, call me crazy.

I'm trying to deduce what the problem might be, or if it's just Win7 being odd, but I'm pretty sure it isn't. My sound card is a Sound Blaster Audigy SE with up to date drivers. My sound has been acting suspiciously lately, for instance I can't for the life of me make my computer pick up input from my microphone jack, neither from my sound card port nor from my built-in motherboard sound port, but that's probably just me not knowing enough about Win7 yet. I don't know, any ideas?
