sounds dying out

[Ubudeco]

My system does not lockup after the first screen, but the sound dies out and I have to reboot to get sound for Anything!

Do you have the latest updates? That was a problem in some of the early builds but it's supposed to be fixed now.

[Ubudeco]

Yes it happens in all the updates as well as the original.
Thanks.

Have you tried emailing Stardock with your hardware info and see if they know anything about it? I've had good luck with using the SDC Chat, myself, but I've heard others gush about the quick response times from support.

Also, make sure the drivers for your sound card are up to date. There are known issues with SB Live cards (which, unfortunately, I have) playing the sound on some of the cut-scenes in GalCiv. I think most people have been able to at least get to hear the music playing and general combat sounds, though.
