Sound Issues
With patch 2.2.0, the in-game sound engine has been changed to a new, exclusively software-based system. This change has been made to allow for a much greater range of compatibility and should result in improved sound performance for many users. The new sound engine provides all of the same features that have always been available in the game, but now extends those features, such as reverb effects, to players who previously couldn’t take advantage of them. This change also allows us greater control and ease in supporting and developing for the wide range of sound hardware, as well as future upgrades and improvements to the in-game sound effects and options.
Issue: My sound is not working, or not all of sounds are playing correctly
Solution: The most common reason for this in most cases is that the drivers installed for the sound card are out-of-date. Make sure that you have the most current drivers available for your device from the manufacture of your sound card.
How can I find out what sound card I am using?

If you've already done this and still have the same issue, we suggest lowering the Hardware Sound Acceleration Level to Basic. To do this:
- Click Start, then Run
- Type dxdiag and press OK
- If the DirectX Diagnostics Tool asks for permission to access your system, click Yes
- Click the Sound tab
- Lower Hardware Sound Acceleration Level to Basic and click OK
Some users have reported that setting the speaker set-up to Desktop Stereo Speakers in the Windows speaker set-up, helped solve some of the issues they where having.
- Click Start , Settings then Control Panel
- Select Sounds and Audio Devices
- In the Speaker Settings Section, click the Advanced Button
- In the Speaker Setup select Desktop Stereo Speakers
Update: With the release of Patch 2.3.0 the option to enable Hardware Acceleration has returned, note that this will only work on suitable sound devices.
Note: That this feature is not enabled by default, and will not work in Windows Vista, as Vista does not offer any support for hardware sound.
