Far Cry Sound effects issues

[bahmunt]

Got a problem with far cry on a machine I built for someone else.

Everything is fine except for the sound effects (shooting, footsteps etc...). I've tried reinstalling the game a few times, messing about with the sound drivers on the mother board (ABit IC7-G) and stuff like that.

The thing is the system is nearly the exact same as the one I built myself, bar the motherboard, so it's gotta be a problem there?????

Haven't really had a huge amount of time to mess with it myself...
I've tried next to nuthin' and I'm all out of ideas :beigeconf .

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

wot sound card??
have you lowered the sound settings in the game??
have you incresed the sound in directX??

No sound card... sound straight off the motherboard.

Ya I messed about with the sound settings in the game to no avail. Haven't done anything with directX though...
