No Sound During Cutscenes/FMVs in Windows 7
- Download Creative ALchemy Universal (doesn't require Creative sound cards).
- Install and run ALchemy.
- If the game is not listed under "Installed Games", click "Add".
- Add "Mirror's Edge" to the "Game Title" box.
- Check the "Use Game Path" box/bubble and type the location of the "mirrorsedge.exe" file e.g.
"C:\Program Files\Mirror's Edge\"
. Steam version would be listed under"...Steam\steamapps\common\mirrors edge\"
- Check the "Install into Sub Folder" box and type in "Binaries".
- Check the "Install into both Root and Sub Folder" box.
- Leave the other values at their default and click "OK", the profile should be created.
- If Mirror's Edge is in the "Installed Games" list, click on Mirror's Edge and click on the ">>" button. It should now be listed under the "ALchemy -enabled Games".
- Close ALchemy and enjoy Mirror's Edge with sound in cutscenes!
NOTE: In some cases, this fix does restore the sound but makes the sounds of the videos go in a faster speed making the sounds higher pitched than usual.
Tweaks
Intro Skip
To skip the intro videos, edit the Engine config file and comment out this line:
StartupMovies=StartupMovie
Like so:
;StartupMovies=StartupMovie
Crosshair Toggle
To bind the F11 key to toggle the crosshair, edit the Input config file, and under:
[Engine.PlayerInput]
Add:
Bindings=(Name="F11",Command="Showhud",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
