Volume Just Tanked!-Help

[timshatz]

Have Il2-FB-PF ect, The whole shooting match. Had no problems with it whatsoever. Until this morning when I tried to play it and there is no sound whatsoever in the game. No music, no effects, nada. Just totally tanked.

Sound on other games an throughout the computer has not changed, works well. Only in the IL2 game. Don't want to go through the hassle of a re-install (a lot of discs) but have no idea why the should just stopped.

Checked the settings for the sound and everything looks fine.

Any ideas from anybody? Need my weekend fix of flaming aircraft.

Did u try restarting ur comp, or lighting the game off again??? I had that problem awhile ago, and a re-boot worked...

When I last time formatted my pc I couldn't get sound to Il-2 either. All other apps worked perfectly. I found out that the only remedy was to reinstall my sound card drivers after every reboot...

Les, tried the reboot and the restart. No go. Went down the same line of reason. Annoying when all the standard tricks don't work.

Cryano, every time?! That would be a world class pain in the ass.

I am thinking, but not anywhere sure, that I might be running out of virtual memory. Might have too many apps running at the same time or might have a worm hard at it somewhere. Will try a defrag and see what pops.

Thanks for the advice guys. At least I know I'm not the only one with this problem.

Yes, every time. I think something went wrong with windows/drivers installation and my pc could not "keep" the drivers correctly when booting. In the end I was so pissed that I formatted my machine again and got another version of Windows. But anyways it was quite peculiar that the problem was with Il-2 only. And at first it worked perfectly for about a week.

Ok, try re-installing the drivers and see what pops. Thanks for the lead.
