No sound effects ?

[callo1]

Hello there.

I was wondering if I was supposed to hear any sound effects when playing PoTC when fighting ?

When I enter a battle sequence I see bandits fire pistols at me, but I can't hear the pistol fire...am I supposed to be able to hear it?

I do not hear any sword fighting sound effects either...like metal on metal sounds when I block an opponent.

I am using a fresh install of PoTC with the Build 12 mod. My sound card is a Aoundblaster Audigy 2zs.

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi there, matey.

Have you checked the output levels in the "Sound" section of "Options"? I've noticed sometimes these can get knocked around (levels reduced) following a crash or similar.

Sound levels were fine in my options.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and I'm getting the exact same thing, with or without the Build 12 mod.

I have battle music and ambient sounds, but if I am walking around town, or somewhere else and I fight an NPC, There is no sowrd fighting sound effects at all.

I have looked in the sound folder which contains the Duel subfolder, and the pistol and sword sounds are in there, but they can't be heard in the game. If I double click on one of the sounds in the folder I can hear it though.

I'm stumped

Well, problem solved <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I decreased my sound acceleration to basic acceleration and all is good.

So if anyone else with a Soundblaster Audigy 2zs has this issues, just take sound acceleration down a few noches and all will work.
