Shane: Game Help
« on: August 20, 2010, 01:42:58 PM »
Not sure if you can help with this or not but you were so great for my port forwarding, I thought I'd come back to you so see if you can help.

I just bought the origination Bioshock, and my sound stops working as soon as the game is playable (after the intro).  I have a brand spankin new computer, less than 4 months old, here are the specs: 

Windows 7 Premium
i5 CPU
8 GB RAM
NVIDIVA High Def Audio
NVIDIVA GFORCE  GT 220

Again, not sure you can help, but you did such a great job helping me with my port forwarding.  Thank you either way.

Looks to be a vista/Win 7 problem.

The game was made for XP and they never put out an update.
But should be easy to fix.

Any luck with that Ogrejoyed?  That's a game where you really need the sound working (especially if you have a surround sound setup).   :wink:
