Sound problem

Post by AggroBot »

Ok, my problem is that all the battle sounds like spell chanting, the normal hit-sounds, and so forth, simply aren't there. I never had this problem in SoA, I just noticed it in ToB.

Any help is appreciated.

This is very odd; the sounds work in the pocket plane, and occasionally outside the pocket plane. Is this some kind of strange bug?

Some things I'd recommend:
1) Fully update the game if you haven't already
2) Make sure you have the newest sound card drivers
3) Turn off EAX sound in options if it is on (it sounds like this is the most likely cause)
4) Check the other sound settings in the config tool

One of those should fix it.

I tried number 3, and now everything seems to work now. Thanks!

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I've had the exact same problems as AggroBot and I'd just like to ask what EAX sound is and how do I turn it off?

Environmental Audio Sounds, which require specific hardware for their realization. You can try here for a bit more information.
