Status: offline 		I got myself a new Desktop and for some reason I have no sound in game, other games and programs all have sound.

Things I tried:

- Update Drivers
- Install DirectX 9
- Various command line switch combinations

Windows build is 21h2 19044.1415, anyone have this version or higher working fine? Otherwise I may consider rolling back...

Any ideas of other things to try?

EDIT:

Fixed! My Windows version is a N version, it didn't come with Media Feature Pack so I had to add it to the Optional Features.

Make sure you have it if this is a problem in the future:

Check the source for your audio.

Feliz Natal!

Also verified sound settings in-game.

Merry Christmas

I'll see if its easy/possible to revert to that Windows version. Might be good idea for you to not update it

I'm fairly certain it's not WITP fault, the install is a direct copy from my previous pc. I have also done a clean install and have the same problem.

Until someone shows up with my Windows version and says it works for them

BTW, I am out of ideas at this time.

Status: offline 		When you say you did a clean install, did that include both the base game and the latest official patch or Beta? Grasping at straws here ...

It's curious that I had a similar problem running IL-2 1946 on my old laptop because of a similar problem, not having Internet Explorer installed.
