Kotor 2 No Sound

For Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'some dialogue not coming up, and no sound on cutscenes?' Hi I have installed KOTOR 2 on my windows 7 machine. When i click on the KOTOR2.exe nothing happens, when i disable the sound the game works flawlessly. My sound drivers are up to date and i have no other problems with other games. Solved: KOTOR 2: problems galore. Discussion in 'Games' started by Minmaster, Mar 4, 2005.

About This File

I've got no sound in game at all. At first it just cut out, so I restarted the game and that seemed to fix it but it cut out again a few minutes later. Tried restarting. No luck, I've got no sound at all. I've tried 'CTRL + S' but it hasn't done anything. I'm on windows 10, but my sound drivers are. This guide will inform you on how to fix Knights of the Old Republic for newer operating systems such as Windows 8 and Windows 10. 1) Run the game in compatibility mode Running a game in compatibility mode is the first thing that you should try when an old game doesn’t work on newer operating systems.

Original Review on Filefront:

The ear is impressively good at distinguishing the most minute of differences between sounds, however without a context or direct comparison it can do an amazingly poor job at just that. This is why judging a sound mod just from listening to the sounds won't give you a clear picture of how good (or bad) the mod really is. From listening to the sound files from this mod out of game, they didn't sound all that impressive. However from experience I know these findings are generally inaccurate. Testing this mod in-game proved just that.

Just from the saber ignite sounds I knew this was going to be a very popular sound mod. Try it out and you'll see what I mean. Shem has taken some of the sound effects from the recent (as well as older) films and put them into KotOR and KotOR2. This not only adds a wider variety of sound variation, since the styles between the two trilogies are actually quite distinct, but it also simply improves the sounds, making them all the more impressive. Of course not only the saber ignition sounds have been changed. All the saber sounds, basically, have been enhanced, as well as several of the blaster sounds, using familiar sounds such as those from Han Solo's DL-44 pistol. Several Force sounds have also been changed, and luckily changing the Force saber throw sound to something that actually sounds like a saber has been a key change!

This is definitely a mod to look into if you're either disappointed with KotOR or KotOR2's original sounds, or if you just enjoy hearing new sound variations added to the game. I'd certainly recommend it.

Note: If I didn't make it clear in the review, this mod is compatible with both KotOR1 and KotOR2, so you can use it with either. Simply make sure to read the read-me before installing.

This can be related to the way the game plays back sound through the PC itself. If the PC is set to Surround Sound in the settings, but the device it's plugged in to does not support surround sound, the voices will not be heard and many or some sounds will not play correctly.
Please follow these steps in order to set the PC to Stereo sound:
1. Open the Start Menu.
3. Choose Hardware and Sound.
Sound
5. Select the correct audio device and ensure it is set as the default.
6. With the device still selected, click Properties.
7. On the Advanced tab, ensure the Default Format is set correctly for your device. Typically, this will be '2 channel, 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality)' or '2 channel, 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)' setting. Click OK to apply these settings.

8. With the device still selected, click Configure.

9b. If you select another setting here, such at 5.1 Surround sound, and click Test, but do not hear sound across all of your speakers, then the sound card or speakers you have do not support this audio channel type or are not plugged in correctly.
10. Click Next to continue through this Speaker Setup window until you receive a Finish button.

If the sound plays correctly now in the game, then you may need to review your computer or speaker setup before trying to enable surround sound again.
