Thank you so much. I had the same problem as ARCAGH, but used Win XPSP3. Awesome game.

Worked for me. Had to revert to vista after my windows 7 disk for one of my dells didn’t activate on the other. Oh well. Vista, again. Thanks for the fix!

Hi. My brother bought Bioshock way back then, but our old computer wasn’t up to run it. Resently, I bought a new one (with windows 7, 64 bit), installed Bioshock and told him to come over soon. You can just imagine my wrath, when I found out my computer didn’t get those (censored) game sounds to work. With any other than win 2000 compatibility the damn thing gave me only black screen and “not responding”…

Then I found this forum, did the stereo mixing thing and today sounds seemed to work just fine. With my bad english I say thank you for the help.

I get no sound and the game runs fine in non-compatibility. When I set it to XP SP 2, nothing runs, the game doesn’t start. Any Ideas?

@Zteve – nice one! That worked for me. On, vista; there was sound on the menu but not in-game. I enabled stereo mixing via Control Panel as you suggesting and now I have sound in-game. Sorted!

Update: i updated audio drivers now game doesn’t boot at all in any compatibility mode.

umm, what if the game worked just fine at first, with sound and all, then suddenly it just stopped putting out audio? the game boots and the menu has audio but as soon as the game starts the audio stops…

I had issues with both crashing and no sound. Until I ran it in compatibility mode, Xp service pack 2 and vista service pack 2.

For the no sound issue I tried about everything I could til I figured it out while messing with my audio settings.

Start -> Control panel -> Sound In sound i had multiple items in the Playback tab. I had to set my headphones as Default. and it worked.

Hope this helps anyone who has had issues as well
