What to do if you have no audio
I know that many of you are having problems with audio not playing. We are investigating these issues, and we are working on fixes that should hopefully resolve this for release. We want you to hear our awesome audio, so if you are not hearing audio for some reason, please try the following troubleshooting tips-

1. Remove any 3rd party codec packs from your system

2. Disable all audio devices except the one you want to use (we are fixing this incorrect audio device selection, but this is a workaround)-
Big big thanks to Frosty for working up this list!

Note: For Windows XP

First up is to check what audio playback devices you have registered:
Go to Control Panel > Sound and Audio Devices > Audio (tab) > Sound playback section
Look at the combo-box's list of devices and note the ones which aren't your soundcard to help you find a matching item in the Device Manager later
--Note: ATI HD Audio rear output (HDMI out for Radeon owners) shouldn't be a problem
Next locate the items in Device Manager to disable or uninstall them:
Right click My Computer > Properties > Hardware (tab) > Device Manager
Find and disable the extra sound devices (probably under Sound, video and game controllers or System Devices)
- If you can't find anything that matches click View > Show hidden devices and check again
- If you still can't find anything close Device Manager and right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced (tab) > Environment Variables and add DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES to System Variables with a value of 1 (this will make Device Manager show everything it has detected over the lifetime of your OS instance that are no longer installed, like cards you've swapped out etc..), then reopen Device Manager >..> Show hidden devices and check again
Repeat the steps in the first part to check that only your sound h/w remains, if you have a Radeon 4___ then ATI HD Audio rear output will also be there (unless you disabled it) but that shouldn't interfere, you can go back and try disabling that as well if you still get the "Sound Acceleration Error"
Finally try the game and assuming it works, you can remove the Environment Variable now if you want to.

2a. Disable other devices that may want to output audio
-It has been reported that 56k modems are causing interference. If you have no use for a 56k modem, remove it in device manager.
-Disable bluetooth drivers (if you're not using bluetooth audio as your default)

3. Make sure that the audio device you want to use is set to default!
