Hello,
I've downloaded the game and have been enjoying it. I'm running Windows Vista with a Soundblaster Audigy (Audigy Gamer, it's probably 5-6 years old by now. I'm using the driver version 2.12.001)
The game runs fine...loads ok, graphics fine, background music OK...***BUT*** I get no sound effects. Nothing when I click menus, nothing when my ships engage in combat, nada. The only sound in-game is the background music.
I have sound problems with no other games in Vista (Have been playing WC3:TFT, Company of Heroes, CS:Source)
I've gone into the in-game menu and played around with the audio sliders - only the background music slider seems to do anything.
Here's my debug.err spam:
