I have NVIDIA High Definition Audio (onboard on my Asus P5Q motherboard) and had quite a bit of trouble getting my sound working. What finally worked was having my audio set as 24 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality) with all unused devices set to Disabled and speaker setup set to Stereo. I have to keep switching that last setting between my regular 5.1 setting and Stereo every time I want to play the game.

This of course only works if I have my .exe set to run natively on my Windows 7 installation or under a Vista compatibility mode - because the standard WAV driver does not give any sound at all.

From what I can see I'm not the only one who has to run audio in stereo to get sound so I'm wondering if there are any plans to support 5.1 audio - or at least not require switching back and forth - anytime soon?

Other than that, great improvement in this game guys. Thumbs up from me. I only just renewed my subscription after a very long absence and I am liking the improvements I have seen so far. I have always found VO very addictive. :)

Hi SideSwipe.
Can you post the waverrors.log file when you have 5.1 sound enabled, please? That info can be used to help support 5.1 audio modes.
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response! Here's what I have in waverrors.log after attempting 5.1:

hi,

I resubbed the other day too and have been having the same trouble. I had this trouble before when i was around and Ray fixed it by adding the option for vista drivers if I remember rightly, back then if i used the wav driver it was extremely crackly and unplayable with volume, then the vista driver worked fine.

Now the wav driver plays no sound at all and the vista driver is crackly and unplayable with audio.

I have the same card and computer as before, vista 32bit.

Heres my wav file if it helps too:

Same problem here, on Windows 7 64x, with a Lexicon Omega soundcard.

Let me know what info you need in order to find the source of the problem.

Thanks!

Problem solved for me. Here's what I did:

1) Switched my soundcard to 24 bit 44100
2) NOT used any compatibility mode on the Vendetta.exe file (uncheck Run this program in compatibility mode for:)
3) Switched Vendetta Online audio driver for the Vista driver.

I don't have any 5.1 option on my soundcard, so it's always 2 speakers by default

Hope this helps.

I cant do that, mine can only do 16bit :(
