Hi Everyone

I wasn't sure if I should post this on this thread or Windows Games

I am having this weird/odd issue when it comes to playing this specific game

I have a dedicated sound card (Sound Blaster AE-7)

The issue is that when I am in Direct Mode through the sound card settings, I am unable to hear anything when running the game. I would need to disable Direct Mode in order to start hearing audio

This issue is consistent regardless if the sound is directly through my speaker or headphone

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you all
