How about you look up some solutions.

Basically, SWBFII likes to be a whiny piece of crap about your audio, of all things.

Just open up the Windows start menu and search for "Manage Audio Devices." Go to "Recording," and right-click empty space; you need to enable "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices." Enable Stereo Mix, if it's there.

Also, plug a mic, a headphone, a speaker, half a cord your dog chewed, SOMETHING 3.5mm into the microphone jack in your PC.

Yes, that's actually the fix. Leave it to George Lucas to take any PC and whine about audio :\

Thank you, Moss! That worked. What a strangely specific solution.

Yeah, it tends to vary from sound card to sound card. The real issue is that most users would never think sound could be the issue, mostly because nowadays we don't have to worry about installing something outside of what's already in the motherboard.

Needless to say, I don't think too many people are nostalgia-blinded enough to say those days were better.

Thanks but HOW THE HELL DID SOMEONE FIND OUT THIS WAS THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM
I don't have an enable steroe mix option. Plugging something in to the microphone jack didn't work either. No fix for me. :(

just do what it says.

other things you can try:

if you have a black screen, try this: http://prntscr.com/8288sp -http://oi65.tinypic.com/33m0x3d.jpg (screenshot)

enable stereo mix

How to Enable Stereo Mix:
Start > Control Panel > Sound > Recording tab > If you don't see Stereo Mix, right click and select Show Disabled Devices > Enable Stereo Mix
(If you still don't see Stereo Mix, try to plug in a mic and enable it)
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/39532/how-to-enable-stereo-mix-in-windows-7-to-record-audio/
https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+enable+stereo+mix&client=aff-maxthon-maxthon4&channel=t28&gws_rd=ssl

if plugging in a mic or headphones into the mic port does not make Stereo Mix show up, try downloading:
https://www.google.ca/search?site=&source=hp&q=stereo+mix+download&oq=stereo+mix+download&gs_l=hp.3..0l9.2880.7537.0.7660.23.16.2.5.5.0.122.1212.14j2.16.0....0...1c.1.64.hp..0.23.1224...0i131j0i10j0i3.WjTPLCJ_DpA

run as admin;
go to right click on the entire SWBF2 folder (located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common) and going to:
Properties > Security > Edit > Choose your User > give it full permissions by clicking the Allow on everything there > Apply. > Advanced > Add Permissions if you like > at the top change OWNER to your main User. > hit Apply. > then go back to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common > click SWBF2 > GameData > right click on SWBF2 > at the top it should say Run as Administrator, try to run it that way, if that doesn't help, right click again > go to Properties > Compatibility > Run the program in Compatibility Mode. In Security make sure you have admin rights there also, simply go to security and check. click Edit to change Permissions, click Advanced to change Owner and more Permissions just like before with the SWBF2 folder.

delete vidmode

(vidmode is located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\DATA\_LVL_PC )

plug something into microphone port

if your game only crashes on a certain map, go to: Library > right click SWBF2 > Properties > Local Files > Verify Game Cache
(this removes mods, etc btw if you have any)

if your game crashes on a modded map/etc uninstall it and reinstall.
