freelancer sound issues

Hi.

Does any1 know how to get round problems with the sound not always playing in this game?

I have latest drivers and all that. Turned off hardware acceleration, turned off 3d sound!

I have creative 5.1 digital sound card, gefore 4 mx440 grafix, 2.1 athlon xp etc etc.

I have tried all the troubleshooting, but to no avail!

This is a problem with an installed mp3 codec. If you installed the Nimo codec pack, uninstall it. If you want to reinstall it and avoid problems, uncheck the "Fraunhofer MPEG-Layer 3" codec under Audio/Directshow. Then run WMFDIST.exe under the "\REDIST" directory on your game cd, it will install a better codec.

It usually is that Nimo codec pack, but there are other ways to get a bad mp3 encoder. In that case, go to your Windows directory, e.g. "C:\Windows\", then to the "System32" subdirectory under your Windows directory. Delete the "l3codecp.acm" and "l3codeca.acm" files, then install WMFDist.exe and see if it helps.

A most unusual and rare game backup issue, no doubt.
