Sound: Use Hardware - Can't enable

[Shakurazz]

Hey guys. I'm also experiencing this issue. I'm running the Release Preview of Win 8 (64-bit) and every time that I restart the game after enabling the "Use hardware" option, it changes to "Off". I've just finished the Overture and the surround sound worked (with the OpenAl Soft workaround that I found here:http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1426011&page=3). However, the workaround doesn't work for the Black Plague. Does the Black Plague use different system for surround than the Overture?
