I have the same problem.
I don't have a realtek or creative sound card, so I use Creative Alchemy Universal.
It hasn't been updated for a very long time and has the no sound in movies bug for system shock 2/any darkengine game.
Please help.

Sorry to grave dig a bit but I've found a very simple fix for those with quiet EAX sounds. I'm using SoundMAX HD integrated audio with Windows XP and all I had to do to make the sounds louder was boost the Wave volume on the volume control panel. This worked to make the sounds louder but they're still very distorted compared to the non-hardware-accelerated equivalents. Hope that helps!

If you're using Thief Gold, try setting the Thief 1 to Windows XP compatibility. It somehow reset everything back to no hardware acceleration, but the sound is stereo again :D

I just wanna bring this thread back up for a second just for those now joining us.
Having issues with audio? Try out Thief 2 1.19, TFix or System Shock 2.4. They all have support for OpenAL now, and it's as simple as going to audio settings, and clicking hardware support as many times as it takes for the option "OpenAL *something*" to pop up. If it doesn't then install OpenAL stuff for your system. It may not be hardware unless you are lucky, but software mode OpenAL is not bad at all -- except for the oldest of systems.
And that's about it.
