Sound Issues with Recommended Setups

[AlanH]

So Brenda hurry up! People are waiting!

She might not choose to hear you unless you call her Glenda

Oops

Well I guess no patch for me. If my name was Glenda I wouldn't like to be called brenda. Damn me and my big mouth.

 

[Beamup]

And here I was thinking you were just combining Brad and Glenda's names to refer to them both quickly. Silly me.

 

[The WAB]

Oh, that's a lifesaver. Yes indeed that was what I was reffering to

So I finally got my copy. (I clicked on the wrong shipping when I ordered it and apparently it was delivered by camel.)

I'm running a Dual 2 Ghz Intel iMac with 256 MB of VRAM and 2 Gig of RAM, Running 10.4.7a.

So far I've played through the tutorial with all of the graphics cranked up to the max and it ran perfectly (except of course for the sound issue). As soon as I started up with my first "real game" I moved a worker and boom Kernel Panic. I'm going to try playing in windowed mode and I'll send the report to Brad.

Just thought I'd put my 2 cents in.

Standard camel or did you pay the extra "walking forward" fee?

Standard camel, but I think they just gave him a mapquest map from California to Maine and wished him good luck!

I think I met your camel a couple of days ago. He stopped me while I was just walking down the street in Smalltown, Ohio. He asked me for directions and bummed a cigarette...

Oh, that camel. I met him as he was coming through Boston. Unfortunately (and having nothing at all to do with me) he was accosted by unknown thugs and your copy of Civ4 was stolen! And I'm certainly not using said copy as a bribe to make one of my thesis committee members more pliable...

any brand in particular?

 

[spekkio]

I submitted a ticket to Aspyr, and they know about the sound issues and are working on a patch.

 

[JoAT]

any brand in particular?

Parliments

On topic: While the graphics engines for Civ 3 and Civ 4 are vastly different, what sound subsystem is used for the unit sounds in each. Since the missing sounds of both Civ 3 & 4 can be played outside the app, is it likely that the in-game problems are directly related?
