Audio problem

I have the recent patch (1.3) and I started to play the Prince of Neutrality.I kill all of the wolfs and go in the tent.When I come out of it I have no audio whatsoever just some bass beeps when I crank the audio to highest.I have an onboard C-Media 6501 Like Sound Device.What can I do about it?EDIT:I also tested this in the regular campaign and the same thing happens.

did you try other save games?did you try starting a new regular campaign?did you enabled/disabled EAX/sound ? ( click Accept after, retest, ect )patch 1.3 has some compatibility issues with old savegames ( se the release notes of patch 1.3 )

I have no old savegames I just reinstalled the game and applied the patch.I tried with the EAX thing and enable disable sound too but nothing.When I exit the game I hear nothing my whole sound system is killed.

Does sound come back when you restart your computer?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 2.21 GHZ2 GB RAMATi Radeon HD 3850M2N-SLI ASUS MotherboardWindows XP Professional SP2ATI 8.4 Catalyst Control Center and stuffC-Media 6501 Like Sound Device Sound card and it's CD drivers and I have a 2.1 audio system from Logitech.and updates what does that mean?I also noted this problem on other games.I recently tried the Lego Indiana Jones demo and in the beginning cutscene about half-way through the sound stops and I have to restart windows (shutdown and starting back) to get it working again.I think it's because of the crappy sound card

there is already a "Service Pack 3" available for Windows XPabout the sound drivers, you have an ASUS M2N-E SLI motherboard? (some other board users are having some problems with the sound card, this seems to be an updated driver, uninstall your old one, reboot, and then install the new one)

Sorry for not responding.I have an ASUS M2N SLI not M2N-E al least that is what it says on the box.I'l try the driver and those people have trouble with their michropohnes not general audio.EDIT:Actually that is an older driver.
