I got bored with Doom 3 & Half Life 2, so I reinstalled UT as I have always
liked that game. Well the graphics & game-play are great, but I've got no
sound. A couple of years ago I had good sound in UT on this computer, so I
don't know what's happened. I'm running Win98, 768 Meg of Ram. FX 5900XT
video card. Direct X ver 9.0c. 1.4 Gig CPU, Asus A7V-133 Mobo with built in
sound. The only thing different from the last time I played UT is the new
video card & the latest version of DirectX. (Maybe UT won't play on ver
9.0c?) I've got the game patched to ver 436. I tried it on my other computer
running XP Pro and even on compatability mode it won't even run, just a
black screen. (it uses a TI-400 video card & DirectX ver 9.0c) I hope
someone can help.

Thanks

Can't give you any certain answers, but UT runs just fine with dx9c,
at least on win2k. I'm sure I had dx9 (not sure what version) on a
win98 partition that I just wiped out, and UT played ok with it also.

UT plays fine in 9.0 (although windowing was broken some versions prior).

Why not just use OpenGL? Force a change of renderer from the prefs menu,
select "Show all devices", choose OpenGL.

Weird. So you get sound in other games? I'm not near a copy of the
UT audio screen right now, but what have you got selected there? Have
you tried checking/unchecking Direct Sound? Maybe you could post the
relevant audio portion of your .ini.

My INI file is: "audiodevice=galaxy.galaxyaudiosubsystem" I've tried
checking & unchecking everything. I have no idea what Galaxy audio is. My
computer default is Via audio. I have great sound in all my other games.

Thanks

Look for the section in your .ini file that says:

[Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem]

It's what's beneath that line that's possibly relevant. Here's mine:

UseDirectSound=True
UseFilter=True
UseSurround=False
UseStereo=True
UseCDMusic=False
UseDigitalMusic=False
UseSpatial=False
UseReverb=True
Use3dHardware=True
LowSoundQuality=False
ReverseStereo=False
Latency=40
OutputRate=22050Hz
EffectsChannels=16
DopplerSpeed=9000.000000
MusicVolume=0
SoundVolume=96
AmbientFactor=0.700000

Compare to yours or post yours and maybe we'll find a clue.

You need to disable 3d sound, can't recall if it's EAX or what the
label is in the UT options. Here is the problem line:

| Use3dHardware=True

This should be enabled ONLY if you have a sound card that supports EAX
or A3D. You can manually edit the file and change the value to
"false".

You're replying to the wrong guy Kylesb, 'cause I'm not the one with
the problem. I was posting the relevant section of my .ini as a
troubleshooting aid for the OP.

But thanks for trying to help! ;-)
