No Music

Stormviper

OK, I have fixed my no music issue, and I think this may be a definitive way for most if not all others can use to fix this problem.

First, download Windows Media Player 10 from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx, and reinstall WMP10 (or install it for the first time if you still have a previous version). Then download this registry file from http://www.looprecorder.de/l3codecp.reg. Once you have the file downloaded, run it and click Yes to add it to the registry.

What this registry file does is registers the l3codecp.acm with Windows by adding the following keys/values:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
"msacm.l3acm"="l3codecp.acm"
"msacm.l3codec"="l3codecp.acm"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc]
"l3codecp.acm"="Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (professional)"

The l3codecp.acm is the codec used for mp3 playback, and for whatever reason, WMP10 doesn't properly register it with Windows when it is installed, hence no music in MxO. Why MxO is sensitive to this and other games are not, I do not know. But this worked for me, and I hope it works for everyone else. Good luck!

Any feedback on this fix would be very welcome. Please let us know how it works for you. Please only try these steps if you are actually missing music in the game.

YES - MUSIC IS BACK - PRAISE THE LORD - HALLELUJAH!

Thx so much - all it took for me actually was the registry tweak

That's cool, Miggesch. Glad it worked. The reason I suggested reinstalling WMP10 first is so that people can be sure that they have the latest version of the codec. Obviously, if you already have it, then just the reghack will do the trick.

Have fun! :smileyhappy:

I have no in-game sounds. footsteps, etc.. I have A sound blaster X-fi on windows vista and i'm able to hear the in-game music but no sound effects, also when the launcher is up and i'm putting in my username and password the sounds are delayed when you type in your username/pass keys. another thing I have noticed with my current situation is: when I die and then click on the recon botton my volume panal shows up on the screen as if I was increaseing the volume then decreaseing it. shows up everytime I recon for about 1 second. I haven't found a solution to my issue. someone please help.

Had nothing that was suggested previously in this thread helped? If not, we can see what can be found through some of your system data.

**letsrock**

Nope, I have found nothing useful when looking around unless I overlooked something. but yea.. I need some help
what did you need me to do first? how do I show you system info?

**TSR-KenC**

We can start by getting some of your DxDiag and MSInfo information - you can find instructions on how to get that info here.

From there, we can wade through the data and see where the culprit is.

**letsrock**

ok. this is getting to complex.. umm I followed instructions and I copied and paste the system stuff I try to put in my post and it exceeds the max number of characters so I just PM you some stuff at least though. hope thats enough to figure this out.
