I've scoured the internet trying to find a solution to this problem, but I haven't had any luck whatsoever.
The game starts with no sound. The only sound is briefly heard when you start a new game, right when the opening Star Wars crawl starts. It's only about a second of audio, that continues to occasionally loop. Other than that, nothing.
I have literally tried almost everything. I've tried changing different audio codecs, different sound hardware, speakers, notching down hardware acceleration,
installed from two different copies to see if mine was defective- it wasn't. I've tried just about every tweak I could think of or read about. Nothing works.
What's bizarre is that Rogue Squadron 3D runs fine with sound, which I don't understand. They both use the same sound system, MusyX I believe.
I feel like it might be a Direct X issue or a multicore issue, but I don't know enough about that. The game was Direct X 8.0. I've tried disabling a core in the task manager, but it just freezes the whole desktop.
This is the only game I've had this problem with. No sound in game, but desktop and everything else has sound while it's running.
If anybody can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
System specs-
XP SP3
