 +
# Once the DirectX Diagnostic tool has loaded, click on the Sound tab
 +
# In the DirectX Features section, adjust the slide bar from where it is currently to Basic acceleration ('''Warning''': This may disable advanced audio features which worked previously in other games. Should you notice a negative change in any other game, simply change the acceleration level back to where it was or to Full Acceleration)
 +
# Click the Exit button
 +
# Start your game, and verify that the game now works properly
 +
 +
Another audio issue could come from an incorrect frequency setting. You can fix it doing the following (in Vista and up):
 +
# Click Start and then Control Panel
 +
# Once there select the Sound option
 +
# Select the ‘Playback’ tab
 +
# Select your current Default playback device (the one with the green check-mark on it) and click Properties button on the bottom right
 +
# Select the Advanced tab and under Default Format drop down menu choose 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality) (Take note of the previous value in case you want to restore it later)
 +
# Click Apply/OK on the Properties dialog and OK again on the Sound dialog and close Control Panel window
 +
# Run the game
