Standard question, have you installed the OpenAL which is included with the installer ? It is necessary to run the game. Also try to update your sounddrivers first

9 out of 10 voices in my head always tell me that I'm not insane. The 10th is only humming the melody of TETRIS.

 
I installed OpenAL and I have updated my sound drivers and still no sound

There is something wrong with your OpenAL install.  Check c:\windows\system32 for either of these two files, and if you find them, delete them: ct_oal.dll, nvopenal.dll.

Suspect that's your problem.

I have seen something like that before from someone here on the HLP forums though.  No matter what they did, installing/uninstalling, making sure the old 1.0 dlls were gone, etc., would get it working for them.  The only suggestion taylor had left was to recommend that they copy the openal32.dll and wrap_oal.dll files from their system32 directory directly into the game directory.  And that worked.

That proceedure isn't recommended in general, since you miss out on better OpenAL drivers which sound card makers can put out (particularly Creative, they have full hardware acceleration for their popular cards).  But, it's something particular to some systems, and nobody really knows what that is.

Tolwyn’s reputation for risk taking with other people’s lives was considered  to understate the facts. The admiral’s willingness to sacrifice anyone or anything to achieve his objectives had long been lauded in the popular press. He was “the man who got things done”.- Colonel Blair

No errors, no random CTDs, just pure fun and proof of why getting hit with missiles is a bad thing.

Most likely that person had old OpenAL DLLs somewhere else in his path too.

Most people who have had this problem turned out to have it fixable simply by deleting the DLLs. In fact I just solved that exact same problem for someone on Sci-Fi Meshes :)

Installing the DLLs to the folder is worth trying if that doesn't work though.
