No Sound FX?

[Hassasin00]

Hi all, I just bought GTA San Andreas during X-Mas for my PC and I'm having a little problem now that I have actually installed it. When in-game, I can't hear the sound of CJ running, the sound of people talking in cut-scenes or when we're riding in the car on missions and I can't hear the car either...All I can hear are the radio stations, the sound of my/someone else's gun firing and the sound of Peds yapping. Can someone please tell me what might be the problem? I installed it on my friend's GateWay laptop (which used Vista) and it worked PERFECTLY (besides for a little lag here and there). He had all the sounds etc. I compared both of our files and none of mine are missing...Can someone please help me? >.< I'm tired of reading subtitles . Oh, also I searched the forums for solutions etc. but none of them helped (including re-installing). If I missed a topic with this problem and their problem has been fixed, can someone please post a link to that post? Thank-you .

First thing to try is to update your sound drivers.

 

Also, post your system specs.

Delete the gta_sa.set file (located In My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files).

 

I had this a problem a few times on vista too, and deleting the .set file worked.

Ooo, it worked. . For a few seconds atleast :S. It just made a new file after awhile. Argh ...

 

@Zera:

 

Pentium 4 CPU 2.26GHz

512MB RAM &

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 w/AGP8X

SP3

 

EDIT: I think you misunderstood my post gtamodder xD. I meant my friend has Vista but I'm using XP (should have mentioned that). Deleting the .set file did work for a little bit but I still couldn't hear my car's motor but I could hear Sweet/Ryder/Big Smoke during the mission cutscenes (they went mute again after awhile while driving in the car though).

Any other solutions?

[gtamodder]

The game will create a new .set file if it doesn't exist.

 

Try reinstalling your sound card drivers.

Sound card ?

Maybe the sp3 is the fault, do you have the beta one ?

Try getting sp2 back

Try getting sp2 back

Or try Windows 98 compatibility mode.

Nope, SP2 didn't help either. I'll try some of the other suggestions. Thanks for helping me out guys ^^.
