Does ur sound problem happen only for that particular game or for every game u play??

U can reinstall the sound drivers from ur Motherboard Cd and do check for lose cables and/or dust accumulation in ur speakers.

also check the sound options in ur game menu too.

Hi,

check your PC speaker volume, and keep it high

Other thing you can do is run this game in the compatibility mode.

Right click on the main executable of the game ( or the shortcut will also do ), and go to the compatibility mode.

and check the box 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and select Windows 95 or 98.

Click and apply and now try running the game!
