Sounds are all scrambled in AoP2 :/

[Voidus]

Hi,

I wanted to Give AoP2 a try along with PotC but it simply won't work on Win 10, it installs and runs fine but the sounds are really bad, as if going through a cheap or broken speaker. Running in compatibility mode doesn't help either.

Does AoP 2 have the "no frame rate limiter" problem?
Or is this something else?

I'm not sure, where am I supposed to read this? It's a really strange problem, it works fine except all sounds have a kind of static noise to them.

It is probably a different problem anyway.

So one without a solution basically..?

I had the same problem and it seems to be a vanilla game problem only. In my two different GoF installations these issues don't exist. So the solution is there but not yet for vanilla.

Are you saying installing GOF fixed it? In my case it didn't

I upgraded my system from 8.1 to 10 and while the vanilla installation seemed to have a problem with that the GoF installations didn't.

you might find something there. haven't tried by myself, I don't play the game at the moment.

Sadly doesn't work, I went as far as uninstalling the audio driver and installing an older version. I guess some things aren't meant to be.

I'm honestly truly disappointed that nobody's hit up the FAQ on this one.

In your engine.ini -

[sound]
sound path = resource\sounds\
UseMM = 0

Once you've set UseMM to zero it'll probably be fixed.

Oh YES! Thanks @Peccavimus, that did the trick.

Look here.

Look for the post: engine.ini
Change the engine.ini as described
Then it should go.
