Audio problem

[Tuscan91]

I had San Andreas perfectly running, only mods I did were a couple of cars. All of a sudden today (not after installing a mod) the strangest thing happened. When I enter a vehicle, there are no engine sounds. Pretty annoying to drive a quiet car. But, however, when I'm standing in the streets, with cars passing by, I can hear them.

 

After a couple of times of restarting my computer and the game, the problem didn't go away. I decided to delete all San Andreas files, and install the game again.

 

Still no engine sounds. Deleted all the mods and savegames, too. How is this possible, and most important, how do I solve this?!

Are you on Vista? If yes, do this:

 

1) Uninstall SA.

2) Delete the installation folder if it still exists. (e.g. C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas).

3) Delete the Virtual Store copy of the installation folder too. The Appdata folder might be hidden. (e.g. C:\Users\???\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas).

4) Delete the gta_sa.set file from your user files folder.

5) Reboot.

6) Reinstall SA.

Yeah, I'm on Vista.

 

Thanks man, I'll try that out.

I had this problem before, I had to update the sound card drivers for my Realtek on-board sound card.

 

When I did, it fixed it. Try updating your sound card drivers.
