Return to Desktop after patched to 1.4 (Sound Problem)

I got the problem that after patchinstallation the game loads and i shortly see game version andthen the witcher returns to desktop.The game was running quite fine with the 1.3 version.patchinstallation gave no error message. I even removed the whole game and reinstall it again.All drivers are in their newest version and i dont use any beta drivers.There are some programs in the background but they shouldn´t have an effect for the game:- bitdefender gamessafe (game optimized fw & antivirus)- o&o defrag- microsoft active sync- sound driverscause game runs with these background programs in version 1.3 without any problems.even if I close them same problem!Anyone here got the same problem or can help me?thx

hmmm, well, there's a couple of different problems I can think of off the top of my head that this could be, but it depends on the specific nature of your crash. Do you get any error messages when the game crashes?Perhaps have a little read of these threads and see if your problem matches anything mentioned here:EAX problem (indicated by "modname: mss32.dll" in the error message)CTD (not EAX related) (indicated by "modname: witcher.exe" in the error message)Also, have a read of and follow the instructions in the Getting tech help on the forum page and let us know how you go

OK. problem solved! I should read better. but maybe it´s too late for that. Kamanos tip here: http://www.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?topic=16968.0helped me out of this problem!Just set audio hardware acceleration from maxium to standard in dxdiag audio panel and the game starts.The thing I wonder is, that it runs with max acceleration with patch 1.3!So maybe a new realtek HD audio driver fixes this. But 2.04 the newest one doesn´t atm.@lovely_psycho: no error message but thx for quick answerthx
