MA3.1 on Windows 7 x64 - No Sound

Splashy · 02-26-2011, 12:15 PM

I have MA3.1 installed on Windows 7 x64 and the sound is not working (neither the bubbles nor the music).
Pressing B and M doesn't do anything.
Sound works fine on other applications.
Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I just updated my sound card driver (Asus Xonar D2X) and it didn't help.
Could it be some sort of compatibility problem with my sound card?

Sorry, Splashy - it doesn't look like anyone else has had this problem in a while.

Thanks Jim.
I managed to fix the problem now - I updated The Asus Xonar D2X's firmware and the sound on MA3.1 works now.
So if anyone is using this sound card with Windows 7 64 bit, that's the solution.

Great! Thanks for getting back to us with the solution.

I'm glad the sound problem is now solved. MA3 has actually run better for me than ever before, since I changed to Windows 7 x64bit.
There are a number of things I don't like about Windows 7, but running MA3.1 is not one of them.
