Need help with missing gam sounds/dialog

Hi guys

I have not played Freelancer for more than 10 years and I decided to try out Crossfire mod.

After installing mod manager and Crossfire everything seem to work great except that some sounds is missing from videos. Especially where the station get blown up in the start video, and when I speak to the barkeeper at the start of the game. There is no dialog happening. But the first intro movie about being defeated and escaping, there all sounds seem ok.

The only thing I have found related to this is something about missing or wrong audio codex. In the readme for Freelancer it say:

Missing Game Sounds

If you experience missing game sounds throughout Freelancer then a different audio codec is probably being used rather that the one provided by Freelancer.

· Please follow these steps if some sounds and speech are still missing after installation:

· Uninstall any 3rd party codec pack or the Nimo Codec pack from your system.

· Uninstall Freelancer.

· Go to the following directory, C:\WINDOWS\system32 and delete the file “l3codecp.acm”. If there happens to be another file named “l3codeca.acm”, delete this too.

· If your system is Windows 98 or ME, open the system.ini file located in your system folder; C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. Delete ONLY the line that starts with “msacm.l3acm=”. In the case of the Nimo codec pack, this will read “msacm.l3acm=l3codecp.acm”

· If your system is Windows 2000 or XP, open the system registry editor (regedit) from the RUN command window.

· Locate and delete the following key: \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\msacm.l3acm

· Load the Freelancer installation CD and locate the REDIST folder. Within the REDIST folder, double click on the file named “WMFADist.exe” and follow on-screen instructions.

· Install Freelancer.

1. now it's obvious u have audio codec issues, and it may b the stuff that's messes ids too, cause fl sound engine is a bit... crappy, and has much impact on the game, generally. u will have to uninstall everything again, and uninstall every single codec or codec pack u have installed (those that affect audio codecs), and then install some compatible codecs back, and fl again. fl requires fraunhofer mp3 audio codec (up to advanced 1.9.305), and is only compatible with it, others just screw it up. one version of it comes with win, and u can install it with redistributable from fl disk: redist/wmfadist.exe. if u don't have that file, it would b best to use some good codec pack (but that is some more work then; anyway i suggest k-lite mega codec pack), but u can download it from microsoft too (if u can find it); btw, there is a Audio Troubleshooting section in readme.rtf file on fl disk dealing with this too, so take a look (u don't really have to do everything it says, uninstall of codecs and another installation should fix it, but have a look anyway),

Is this the way to fix my audio problems, or is there better ways to fix this?

pretty strange

on what OS are you trying to run the game?

Hi and thanks for your reply. Im running on Win 10 pro 64bit.

hmm ok. I guess I have to try something like I posted in the first post. Not sure it will help anything since the readme refer to win 2000 and xp

Yeah thats a good idea. I will try different settings, try stereo first...

I did change to stereo and now I got all audio..nice...thanks again
