" If you experience any issues in game this could be linked to your sound card, try reducing the hardware acceleration option within the DXDIAG tool – To Run DXDIAG see the `Technical support section` below, once loaded select the SOUND tab and move the slider option (Hardware Sound Acceleration) to the left"
i went to start>run>dxdiag to my pc and then the dx diagnostic box appeared. i found 4 sound tab there and there is no slider of hardware sound acceleration.
what should i do now can you please tell me more about this ? thank you .

I'll need to see Balthazor's own screenshot not one from your computer I'm afraid.

Hardware acceleration doesn't exist in Windows 7, not sure about Vista, so if you're on 7 there's no fix yet.

Mini Ninjas doesn't officially support Windows 7 I'm afraid.

And yes, there is no such layer in Vista either.

Btw, I have the Mini Ninjas - Demo. The program works fine, only the sound is missing after the first cut-scene. There is definatly no problem with my PC. I have up-to-date drivers and enough resources.

Bump.

It doesn't exist in Vista either.. So there's no solution for this? I guess I'm just lucky that I tried the demo first.

Too bad.. I could really use that 50% off on Steam. The game looks awesome.

I have the same problem in XP. I tried lowering the acceleration and downloaded and installed the latest driver and I only get sound during cutscenes. I submitted a ticket to support. Maybe the 50% discount meant you get video but not audio :-)

Had the same problem: sound only in cut scenes. The missing slider issue occurs on Windows 7 and, apparently, on Windows Vista although I cannot confirm that. (How did they not test on windows vista or windows 7, I wonder? These OS's have been out for, what, 6 years?)

I also found the solution for cards that support OpenAL: Go here http://connect.creativelabs.com/open.../AllItems.aspx and click the zipfile icon next to "oalinst". (Yes, you want the 32-bit one. This game is a 32-bit executable.) When the zip file downloads, open it and run the executable inside. It installs very fast.

Once it says it's done, restart mini ninjas if it is already running.

Sound works now. This solution fixed the problem for me.
