Hi there!
I am LOVING Nehrim so much!
Here's my problem...
Thanks to a nasty virus, I had to uninstall Windows XP and install Windows 7. I kept my savegame.

Everything runs pretty OK, and I'm running the game as administrator, except that there's no voice acting! I get the subtitles, but no sound for the voices. Does anyone know why this might be, or how I can fix it? Should I re-install Nehrim or something?

Thanks!

AHA! I solved it!

Just in case somebody ever has this random problem-

I have a Soundblaster Audigy card installed, and my onboard sound is Realtek '97. I disabled my onboard sound. I also made sure to set my speakers, which are just two speakers with a subwoofer, to 2 channel instead of the default 5. I guess Oblivion's voice acting all tries to play through some kind of central channel.

So it was either the problem of having two sound cards on at once, or Windows 7 setting one's speakers by default to more channels than I actually had. Most sound worked fine, but Oblivion's speech in particular did not until I changed these two things. Had to go pretty deep into the control panel, configuring my speakers and sound card to do it, but luckily it has a nice user friendly "test" system.

So, that's that. Now I can hear all about freiheit again... :}
