hi, i installed a new driver for my soundcard yesterday and it worked fine with other games, however when i play aoe3 i come across problem. i can hear music and ambient sounds, but i cannot hear units' responds, weapon firing, that numb sound you hear clicking menu buttons, and taunts from AI players
i did not do anything to the game files since i played last time. i looked into the 'sound' folder and tried to play the player taunts there, the files are still there but i cannot hear anything with Windows Media Player (can with VLC though). am i missing certain codec files? thanks

Maybe the new version is not compatible. Also have a look under the music options in game. If all else fails and you really want to play AOE3 with sounds then you can just revert to your original version.
