This is a new issue to me. Many sounds will play, like footsteps and doors opening. I think most ambients play. But no guard chatter and my own injuries like falling, death, or getting hit. All sounds that play, play every time, and all sounds that don't play, never play (i.e its not intermittent). I have a sound blaster x-fi and i've tried 2 different driver versions, reinstalling the game, and have tinkered with both in game and windows audio settings.

I'd love to hear some thoughts on what might fix this.

Thanks.

Thanks, but I'm running winXP sp2.

It did. I ignored it when searching, since I'm not using onboard audio, but the thread later explains why it can affect Creative Cards. Thanks for pointing it out. I died a lot of times not knowing that I was getting attacked... This should help!

I spoke too soon. Windows file protection rewrote the file after a reboot. Now, that solution never works. Every time I launch the game it overwrites the A3D file and I get the same sound issues. I even tried using Windows Updates drivers and that didn't work.

Any other thoughts or work-a-rounds would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the tip, but that doesn't work.
