Hm, nothing out of the ordinary reported there...
Another obvious check: Did you somehow accidentally mute the game? Make sure that sound hasn't been muted in the options menu (F1 > 4).
I doubt that's it, though. This is likely caused by your hardware/OS settings, though the game not showing any error on audio initialization means the OS is telling it everything is okay...
Other thoughts:
- Do you have the latest audio drivers for your sound card? Try updating? Technically Cogmind will work with ancient XP drivers, but perhaps there is something else at work here, like:
- Could some other program be running that interferes with Cogmind's sound? (It's rare, but not impossible for something else being run at the same time to block certain types of other programs' access to the audio driver.)
- Is there any other game/software in which this has happened to you before?
- Are you using a laptop which may have some kind of audio enhancement software enabled? These can theoretically interfere with sound in some software.
Another possibility you can try:
1. Open control panel
2. Go to sound
3. Click the speaker, open properties
4. Go to the advanced tab
5. Try changing the default format of the audio quality, e.g. to 24 bit, 44100hz (studio quality)
(Also in the speaker settings make sure you have them set to the hardware you are actually using, e.g. "headset" for a headset, or 5.1 if using that configuration, etc.)
You're using Windows 7, but in case you have an older version of DirectX (which you should update if that's the case!), this could work:
1. Go to the Windows start menu and select Run
2. Type "dxdiag" in the box
3. Go to the sound tab
4. Reduce audio acceleration and save
Let me know if you discover anything!
