Mercenaries 2: World in Flames Message Board  

I get sound in the cut scenes but no npc voices, gunshots vehicle engine sounds in the game. I have reinstalled my drivers to no avail and I have tried using my USB headset and still have the same problem!!!!

FYI my install size is 5.8gb as well.

Sys Specs

X2 4800
2 GB RAM
8800 gts
Win XP SP3
Extreme Gamer X Fi 2_18_0004 (the latest driver I could find)

its hit and miss i notice it will do it no matter what when you start the game if the second little video with the grenades doesnt show the game will miss sound just have to exit and restart it

I think I have fixed it was over at the Pandemic forums yesterday and it seams if you play around with the sound acceleration by using 'dxdiag' it appears to fix it. i've turned my down to standard from full and have been playing saving and reloading all with sound

Explosive: i have to exact same prob except I can still hit Space when the Pandemic grenade movie fails to play and get taken to the main menu

could you tell me exactly what you did? I too have no voice dialog in cutscenes and i know how to get into dxdiag i dont however know how to fool around with the sound like you said.

Click Start then Run and type dxdiag into the window that pops up, then click the sound tab. At the bottom of the page you should see a slider called 'Hardware Sound Acceleration Level' Slide it back and forth to see what setting suits you best. On the Pandemic Forums someone had to turn the acceleration down to the lowest setting but it worked for me at 'Standard'

Hope that helps
