No sound coming from game at all

(Win 7 Pro). No sound or music at all, I had sound for a little while when I downloaded it but now none at all.

An observation- it doesn't matter what version I'm using, but if I rename the .exe file the sound will start working again but only for a short while.

Hi Gavin,

this sounds very strange to me... Are you able to reproduce this issue on a different Windows 7 installation/machine, or is this problem specific to one single machine?

Sounds like a mis-interaction with some sort of antivirus or other sort of system "protection" software.

And/or some sort of VIRUS itself.

Scan the system (can't say with what, haven't owned a Windows system in years).

Try disabling the various crutches, splints and wheelchairs (might be a good idea to turn off any sort of networking while doing such tests)...

It seems to be unique to my computer. There are no problems if I run R&D within a virtual machine.

At the moment the sound works as long as the filename is anything other than the original filename.

I am using Avast anti-virus, a recent scan found no viruses.

Very strange... Sounds like the filename of the binary triggers some specific behaviour regarding sound, but I have no idea at all what might have caused this... :-o

Can you disable Avast for long enough to test that way?
