[FIXED] No sound [when WMP-Legacy is not installed]

[varangy]

There's no sound in game.

• In game options the sound and music are ticked.

• WMP is installed, enabled.

The game shows up at the volume mixer, it is at the maximum level, the output device is the default like the same for anything else.

Windows Media player is the only installed player, default for mp3 is set for that, sound files play from the games folder.

Disabling sound and enabling again in game doesn't fix it.

Rechecked all files with steam, everything validated.

Restarted the game multiple times, ran as administrator, still doesn't work.

Checked the log files, nothing is written there for sound related stuff.

That's a really strange case.

Do you have any other audio-related application running at the same time? (e.g. Nahimic)

For Windows 11 users, you should search for "Windows Media Player Legacy", not the one named "Windows Media Player" in the Microsoft Store.
I had the same issue and finally figured it out and resolved it today.

We have replaced the dependency on WMP with a revised system based on NAudio. This should fix the problem, and this change is included on the next update release.
