Make sure to install OpenAL and for further help you need to specify what hardware, version of game and operating system you are using.

I DID Install OpenAl, and I'm on a 15-inch Macbook Pro running Vista on Boot Camp.
Game Version:
1.1
I attached an DxDiag with my specs.

Hi,

You do not have a driver installed for the sound card it seems, at least it says in the dxdiag that it can not find a sound card. So you should look into that and then when you have sound it should work without a hitch.

Well, I ACIDDENTLY uninstalled the Cirrus Logic CS4206A device from bootcamp, thinking that would fix it, but it didn't, because when i tried to find the drivers, it said the drivers were already up-to-date.
