<div class="IPBDescription">...but with all other games or CS</div> I don't know what it is, I just got my new Audigy 2 and it works like a charm, except in NS.
I hear all the sounds when I am in the menus, but as soon as I am in RR and then game, I don't hear anything. No footsteps, no music, no voice. All muted.

It only comes back when I entirely disco from the server, and go back to the first menu of NS (Quit screen).
I tried CS (forgive me <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->) and it works there.

    are all of your drivers up to date? I know you said its new, but sometimes the drivers that it comes with may not be the most recent ones

    edit*

    also it may help if you gave your system specs and what windows version you are running

    Esc-return doesn't work either, will try the config kill tonight.
    I will keep you informed later on if it worked out!

    Thanks! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yes, the above one interests me too since i'm having a similar but not as severe problem myself.

    Also I planned on getting an Audigy.

    Out of the fire, into the frying pan..

    I installed the latest drivers for audigy, now sound works..
    Seems like the DX9 install wrecked the drivers to some extent.
    BUT it happens to be somewhat disturbed..

    like imagine a sound that makes something like "LUMMMMMMMM"
    Now it sounds sometimes like
    "LULULULULUMMMM MMM MMM MMMMM"

    Like in Marine spawn on tanith.
    Its only affecting the sourrounding sounds, like ambience.
    Weapon fire etc. all sound normal.

    Strange indeed...

    Such a wonderful sound card, excellent sound, and it seems only NS is affected. All other games I play work normal.

    This looks like if it turns out to be a realy bug.....

    Seems this choppy sound problem was induced by the fact that I ran NS in win98 compatibility mode. I turned it off and now it seems to work normal.
    I have to play more to be sure, there *seem* to be some choppynesses left especially when several marines fire full gung-ho.
    Sometimes this sounds like one shot, then a second slience and then another shot.

    I start to believe the HL soundengine sin't able to cope with this soundcard satisfactory, as it is so much newer.

    All for now, will keep you informed.

    i get choppy sound sometimes too <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    btw, how do you pick whether NS runs in win98 compatibility mode or other modes? where is that option? maybe i can try that too because mine seems choppy here and there

    if I only knew how this is called in english...
    When you make a "link" to another file, like you have cstrike.exe in your according folder, and an cstrike.lnk link file to this .exe on your desktop.

    Open the properties of the link file, and look out for an option to run the .exe in compatibility mode, shouldn't be difficult to find.
    You can only enable this in link files, not the .exe themselves AFAIK.
