Flyer,

Glad it worked for you, but it is not the fix all you think it is. I run XP Pro, with my sound acceleration all the way up, slider to full right. And I do not have the sound issue. Never have had from the first install. All my gun sounds work just fine.

Maybe it's a hardware issue...Do you have an addon sound card? I do not, just the integrated sound on the mobo...what type of audio card and drivers do you use? Not sure which integrated chip mine is, will have to check when I get home from work, but my audio drivers are the Realtek AC '97

Not trying to be a wise ass, just trying to help figure out what the problem is.
