It works!

Now, I did it a little different because it seems Vista is different and my laptop is in dutch.

I couldn’t find the codec list, so I googled the Fraunhoffer thing for vista.
It appears Windows and Fraunhoffer have a bit of a fight, now every Vista still has Fraunhoffer’s thing but it is still on, in TWO files.
The problem is that the advanced is working and the professional (the needed one) is deactivated.
By using a patch, the advanced is deleted and the professional is activated.
By using this, and deleting all old saves and restart.fl, it now works like a breeze.

I’m so happy!

I don’t know if I’m allowed to link to a other site, but I’m going to take the risk because here is where the patch is:

Removing the files didn’t help

not shure if this helps but…

a few years ago i purchased the fine game X2… at the time FL was working, but after installing X2 i had the exact same problem untill i re-installed my PC a month latter…

now… X2 has since had a patch or 3… and i haven’t had the problem since… so im thinking codecs here, as is normally the culprit.

Well,it turned out I had X2 - The threat on my laptop still lingering, well some files that remained after uninstalation…

I just deleted them, and am going to try once more if the sound works now.

If not, how can I:

A. See which (if it is the codecs) codec(s) is the wrong-döer and
B. How can I fix that?

That might be a driver issue. Not sure cuz i don’t know much about vista. But as far as i know vista handles audio quite different from XP. I guess u already checked on your audio config if all sliders are up.
I had a similar prob with a game once, i needed to get new hardware drivers to solve that.

Well, the weird thing is that it worked before when I had loaned the CD.
But now I have another CD, installed it (as I had uninstalled Freelancer) and only the sound effects work, so I’m a sad panda But, it’s not the driver, as all other games work perfect, even games WAY newer than Freelancer…

I’m thinking it could be the installer, because I lowered the sound of the installer because I was listening music while installing it, could it be that?

So, I’m using Vista and strangely enough when I play freelancer, the music or dialogue don’t play but the sounds effects do.

I deactivated the 3d sounds, thinking it was that, but that doesn’t work too!

Please help…
