khnk222: I decided to go back to BG after a bit of Fallout and Arcanum, but it seems that I don't have voice sounds playing anymore, I start making my character and I get to the voices option, I hit play and no sound for the selected voice, it applies to both games as well. I remove both games from my computer and I reinstall them, not once, but twice, and still nothing works, I hope that I can get some sort of help here and play this game the right way. Another note of importance is that combat sounds are non-functioning as well, like sword attacks, spells work though, at least in the BG2 beginning cut-scene but the characters in this part have no voice sounds.

Simbabluenobi: PROBLEM SOLVED
Uninstall the Problem Game and then REINSTALL in its own folder ... NOT in the default x86 Program Files folder. All Sounds working now.
Seems a Lot of games have problems when installed to Windows 7 Program files Folder as default ... simply uninstall and Reinstall into its own folder on the C drive. WORKS!!!!
Another Problem was that I had been playing around with the sound control panel and not only had the EQ and Reverb set but also had the Speaker set up for 5-1 surround (which sounded cool in the headphones) but I don't have a 5-1 speaker system so that setting was also messing up the sound as IT was changing the Stereo Output and directing some sound to non existant speakers.Simbabluenobi:

Belwar: I just created an account here to say that you're awesome.. I really love this game, and I have a bit of nostalgia since the Enhanced Edition is coming out soon, so I decided to play it for the first time in about six months. Low and behold... no sound now. Read troubleshootings everywhere, but to no avail. Until I read this. It was my speaker configuration. I am usually on 5.1, but I'm dual monitoring through my tv with sound on it, instead of my 5.1. I took your advice and changed it to stereo instead of 5.1.. BOOM. You're the man. And thanks for being my hero by replying a fix to your own message, even though you knew nobody would probably ever look at it. Thanks so much, buddy. You've made my weekBelwar:

Simbabluenobi: Cool Enough ... Glad it helped . :)Simbabluenobi:
