No sound on M2TW (HELP!)

[JackofAllTradez]

Hey thank you for coming, I was play M2TW yesterday fine everything was great, I decided to switch to my laptops speakers instead of headphones because no one was home, I pulled the green bit of the cable out of the green port in the laptop and it worked great, but when i put it back in again there was completely no sound!! So I quit the game took it out and put it back in but still nothing, I have the game on a DVD ROM and whenever I put the disk in the music comes on on the intro too wether you want to play M2TW or one of the kingdoms expansions but as soon as i click one and play it the music continues but there is no in-game sound. I was going to re-install but I just wanted to check if it was something else...

Helpful comments will be much appreciated...

Oh and yes I have checked sound options everything is at its highest...

NOTE: i put the headphones back in because my dad came back home, no sound on either speakers or headphones...

For me this tends to happen when I press the fn key when trying to lower or raise the volume. Anyways, try checking the options and see that it isn't muted. If it isn't muted then get out of the game and click on the volume control thingy on your desktop, click on mixer and check to see if it wasn't lowered. After that I'm just completely out of ideas sorry.

I found the problem,

As i was playing 2 days ago when it was working fine, I realised that my "Turbo" button was still on, (a touch screen button on my laptop which increases the amount of gigabytes it can download and inturn making the download speed and the laptop itself a lot faster...) I then had a flashback and realised that I pressed this button before the problem, I tried pressing it again and this wierd menu came up saying something about "SoundWave" I then after this flashback went to my option settings of M2TW and went on sound options, I looked and realised that In-Game Mute was checked in a box, I unchecked it and I could hear that glorious music that the game makes, I went onto a new campaign, (unfortunately I uninstalled the game) (SLAP!!!) and it was fine.

So all in all it works again I tried pressining the "Turbo" button again and the boxed was checked again so the Turbo button is the culprit. Odd how it makes it mute the game though, I just need to make sure I turn it off efore playing the game. I hope this helps anyone else who is stuck, but the only people that will have a problem like this have to have the exact same laptop as I do, but if you have then here is your solution.

Thank you cansecoangel for your help, I do appreciate it as you were the only one out of millions to bother replying. Thanks ------ S.T.A.L.K.E.R

No problem, just glad I could help ^^ uhm may I ask you if it's possible to play M2TW online?

[JackofAllTradez]

Well atm no because of the Gamespy update, you may need to also re-register an account because of a bug. I am yet to try multiplayer but I have looked into it. So yeah it is possible but ifGamespy cant fix this bug then the multiplayer will be deleted probably...
