Hi wykus.

First at all sorry for my bad english, I'm spanish, and my son had the same problem, but I've some practice with videogames (I love them and I'm an developper for virtual worlds), I fixed it. Perhaps my solution can help you too.

The problem with that game is caused for conflict with the sound aceleration.

Try that: In Start>run>(type)DXdiag (press ok or hit return). The DXdialog start. Go to Sound's tabs and set down (all dwn) the sound acceleration, and try again.

I sendt a formal protest to de UBIsoft team. Expensives and good games like this one, need to have more automatic detection and configuration.

Suerte/luck

hehehe thanks but i solved the problem 2weeks ago . im am also struggeling with my english because it is my 3th Language . my country is south africa. i solved my problem like this

if using Realtek High Definition Audio, Soundmax HD Audio, or nForce Audio, you
may experience sound anomalies. To work around the problem, reduce the Hardware
acceleration slider to 'Basic' in the Windows Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio
Devices -> Audio tab -> Advanced -> Performance tab."

So apparently the game does have problems with different sound cards. But this is for XP users, Vista doesn't use hardeware acceleration.


UpDATE The Voices are working now. I did the following like it says above, I set both sliders to the middle setting, Basic for the first one and the other slider under it was in the center. Sound works.

it seams to me that assassins creed is a big problem. i hope the next episode have less problems.

Personally I had the same problem too! But I couldn't find the ''hardware acceleration'' on windows 7 so I came up with another solution! First of all I went to the control panel > hardware and sound > Realtek HD Audio management ( if you are using Realtek ). Then I changed the speaker configuration to stereo BUT without ''checking'' the headphone virtualization! If it is already ''checked'' just ''uncheck'' it... Hope this works fine for you too!!! Note:When headphone virtualization was ''checked'' it didn't work for me Good Luck! I know I'm too late but maybe someone else has this problem too and can't find the hardware acceleration on windows 7
