* Added support for DirectX 3D sound (DS3D) hardware acceleration.


Ok,now the sound of my weapon hitting a foe is muted at best, or completely silent.This causes a problem with timing skills, not sure if previous skill has hit yet.Anyone else having this problem?

ya im having that problem too i cant hear very few skills from myself or others

I wish I could comment on this but I can't even log-in anymore. I'm always getting error code 072.

i lost all sounds except effect sounds ... i use sound blaster live 24bit i have the latest drivers
When i start GW all sounds are muted ... when i say all i mean all .

edit

uninstalling the drivers and installing the new and disabling the accelaration worked.

Edit Edit:

i do get other sound problem however, sometimes some sounds lockup and loop till i go crazy (thats since the last update too)

thats happned to me to so we arent the only only ones hopefully

I have to say that i have no problems with the sound since the update, think it sounds a lot better than before

Can you turn the hardware acceleration off on your cards, or in game?

that usually solves any problems, especially with sound blaster cards, they all seem to be a bit buggy :-/ Either that or are hard for games to be made fully compatible with them.

I'm having the same problem, sounds worse now than before the update and it doesn't matter where the slider for the quality is. I'll have to check what sound card I'm using when I get home and see if there is an update for the drivers. Also, Zaxan, are you referring to the hardware acceleration? Sorry for the dumb question.
