Hi,

I can't get the audio to work, i have been in the audio menu and there is no audio driver to select from. Any suggestions on what I need to do to get sound?

Thanks

This should be in the "Windows" forum but let's see if we can get it answered quick and move it there after.

Does sound work with other apps?
Are you missing all sounds or just music or weapons/engine?
Have you gone to "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Sound" and everything is set OK?
Are speakers plugged in/turned on?

Also, system specks...

Thanks for the answer...

Sound works fine with all other programs, and no sound at all in vendetta. sound card is only 2 years old and was good at the time i brought it i think it is 128 or 256mb but I am on my works pc and cant check. I occasionally have problems when playing a dvd with no sound but I think i downloaded a bad codec and it hasn't affected any other program (plus i don't know what the codec was or how to remove it)... i am hoping this isnt the problem.

Hi Isendre, it might also be helpful for you to post the contents of the file called waverror.log which is located usually in C:\Program Files\Vendetta Online\, if this file is empty the could you please post the first 13 or so lines of the file errors.log (up-to the point where the log states "Welcome to Vendetta Online." ). This will help people who have been here a while possibly help, or could point a developer in the right direction.

The only background application that has ever given me sound issues in any version of Windows was the ffdshow audio plugin, sometimes, if I had watched a DVD or played another game then loaded VO, the ffdshow plugin would *lock* the soundcard, meaning VO could not access it. Sorry I cannot be of anymore help.

Hmm. Yeah, the waverror.log file will shed some light on this problem. One thing that jumps into my mind is that the sound card doesn't support 44.1 KHz playback mode. VO doesn't resample to 49 or 96 or whatever the card would support. But I could be wrong because I haven't seen a sound card that didn't do 44.1.

It also comes up with audio driver empty when i try to change driver on the audio options

Thanks for the replies btw, sorry it took so long, i had to come home to do it.

I am a bit illiterate when it comes to pc's, so be gentle if it is something glaringly obvious please :)

Do you know what kind of audio card you have, specifically?

Do you have the latest drivers for it installed? (you might check the home site for the manufacturer)

Damn but i feel stupid not being able to do this stuff myself.

It is only a Sound Blaster live! 24 bit. I thought I had brought a better one when i got my pc. I reinstalled the drivers from creative last night but still no sound.

I'm rearranging some code in hopes of fixing this problem. I don't know why the problem happens, but waveOutGetDevCaps(WAVE_MAPPER...) is returning an error saying that WAVE_MAPPER is out of the device range. The argument should be able to be either a zero-based device id or WAVE_MAPPER (which is -1).
I'm changing the code to use device id 0 instead of WAVE_MAPPER if there is only one audio device present.
