    [​IMG] Do any of you know of anything like this, like links or what have you? I seem to be unable to run BG totsc in Windows XP with any sound. Strangely enough a friend of mine has exactly the same comp as mine, and he´s able to run it fine, no soundproblems or anything. I updated everything, and I have no problems in any other games. However, the game crashes when I run with my soundcard enabled. So I thought that if I can´t run it conventionally, I might somehow bypass it anyway.

    Did you try turning hardware acceleration off for sound from DirectX? I don't know about BG, but this tends to solve similar problems with other games in XP (especially with DirectX 9).

    If your sound card is Creative, you might also want to try turning EAX off, as this can also cause problems with older games and DX9.

    My soundcard is a Realtek. Turning off hardwareacceleration from DirectX didn´t work. The intromovies play just fine AND with sound, but when I get to the main menu, the game crashes. But if I disable the soundcard, the game runs just fine (without any sound, mind you).
