Strange Problem with sound

Nagash

My problem is that when i play Mxo i can hear music i can hear ambience but the other sound scape in the world is empty basicly what i am trying to say is that i cannot hear the good old thud when you hit someone or the sound of firing gun or anything like that. I am running the game with pretty much default settings.

I am new player in Mxo and well maybe i am doing something wrong i dont know but did not find similiar issues with other posts on the forum.

ok i fixed it partially so i noticed that if i dont even open the sound settings especially if i dont move the sound volume slider then i can hear the sounds fine if i do tough then no sounds for me only music.

I think it is a bug in game. (because i have no other problems with any other game including EQ2, Vanguard, Dawn of war soulstorm and other titles) Well strange bug and annoying one because now i cannot use the ingame sound volume control unless i restart the game...
