I have been running BOBII successfully for years on Win7 without issue. Recently I upgraded my Radeon video card to a Nividia GeForce 1050TI.The game recognizes the new card.
During the upgrade I needed to do a System Restore. Following the restore, the new card installed successfully. Now, when I access BOBII, I get the "phoop" with menu selections and I get GCI audio in the Campaign. What I do not get are "in the cockpit" audio such as engine noise, ground control or any sound effects. I have tried every available option listed in the SOUND selection under "OPTIONS" menu. Any suggestions as to how to fix the in game audio? Thanks
No Sound in Game but Sound in Menu and Campaign?
Re: No Sound in Game but Sound in Menu and Campaign?
So no sound whatsoever in the 3D?
I guess you've tried reopening the program several times
with no change. Also rebooted the machine?
There is no switch I know of that can yield this result. I can
only suggest a BoB2 re-install, as I can't think
how this condition could persist in a good install. However,
this doesn't guarantee that will be the solution. But I don't
know how the vidcard could cause this, either.
...I have a 1060 sitting waiting to install on my W7 machine
that I've just been too busy to get to for the last month (though
the 275GB SSD I got at the same time was a huge success).
so now I'm somewhat trepidatious of that project.

Re: No Sound in Game but Sound in Menu and Campaign?
I've never heard of having to do a system restore on installing a new video card before, unless you mean a system reboot or restart. A system restore can corrupt programs and program settings depending on when the restore point was created. I would do a re-install of Bob2.
Re: No Sound in Game but Sound in Menu and Campaign?
The problem began when you changed graphics cards, so I'm thinking it may be a graphics card driver or directx 9 driver issue, maybe install the latest graphics card drivers or perhaps a different driver version to the one you are using. Some games work better with certain driver versions. Install latest dx9 driver from microsoft, I think this was the last version - "directx_Jun2010_redist".
Re: No Sound in Game but Sound in Menu and Campaign?
To back up a bit, I was going to upgrade VC. I watched several YouTube videos on how to A) remove the drivers then B) physically install the card. Having that total false self confidence of a DIY'er I uninstalled the drivers per videos. I then shut down the system and rebooted before swapping cards. I then got Windows Startup Error, which after repair attempts suggested System Restore. That is when I took my system to a Professional computer shop. They did the System Restore and video card install. Some sims like RoF, BoS, IL2 work fine (awesome vc card). In addition to BoBII I am now having issues with WOFF UE (missing files not audio prob's). I will try the clean install and see what happens next.
One last question; after the clean install can I install only the last patch or do I install previous patches including the latest? I have done these as were released.
Thanks everybody for the help. I let ya'll know the outcome. GW

Re: No Sound in Game but Sound in Menu and Campaign?
All BDG patches are complete and standalone, any patch
can be applied over any lower patch level back to a 2005
stock install.
(Going the other way is likely to generate trouble,
or at least leave a lot of unnecessary files around ie if you
were to load v2.06 over 2.13. )
