Freight Tycoon sound problems
 

I have been playing the game for awhile with no problems using on board video. Today I bought a new nvidia card and after putting it in and installing the drivers I now have no sound. In the game options the sound volume is greyed out but sound works in all other games. I have tried reinstalling directx but nothing work. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks
Roger

Just as a note I also tried using a pci sound card and that didn't work ether

Is everyone in here on a 3 week coffee break?

This is what you need to do to fix your sound problem:

1. Run "CMD" (command prompt - start > run > enter cmd)
2. Get to the Freight Tycoon directory
3. type "tycoon.exe -s" and press enter
4. Choose Directsound as sound source and enter the game.
5. Problem solved :)

If you dont know how to do this, simply reinstall the game and remember to put Directsound as sound source as the game cant pick one for you automatically.

I have the same problem myself, and I use nvidia as well. I'll try that trick when I get home from work today :)

Thanks, your solution has fixed my issue as well. Thank you very much!

I must run setup each time if I want audio of the game. :(

You can get the setup to run automatically each time you start the game, with the little checkbox at the bottom of the setup screen. Just makes it a bit quicker:grin:

How exactly should i do this? When I type "cmd" in run it pops up a black window where it stands "C:\Documents And Settings\Name>" What should i type in? My game directory is in C:\Program Files\Freight Tycoon

If you aren't familiar with DOS, then this should help:

1) First go to the drive your game is on if it's not on C:. Type "D:" and then enter, for example, if your game is on drive D:. If you installed the game to the default location, you don't have to worry about this.

2) Go to the directory/folder your game is in. Type cd\<directory path>. So, for the default location, type "cd\Program Files\Freight Tycoon". The "cd" stands for "call directory'' if you're wondering.

3) Now type "tycoon -s" and it'll bring up the game settings menu.
