I do not know if this is a bug. I HOI1 and HOI Platinum all sounds function fine including battle sounds. I have installed HOI2 on two computers and have no battle sounds on either. I have all other sounds. The individual sound files play fine when you open the wave file in the SFX file and click on them but do not work during play, even though all other sounds do. I have reinstalled after complete uninstalls three times. What can this be?

Are you selecting the battle?
The sound only plays in HOI2 when it is selected.
 
You need to select each battle in order to get the battle sounds. You can either do that by clicking on the particular army involved in the battle, or you can go to the battle screen and select from there.

That one had me stumped for a short while too, being used to HOI1... ;-)
 
I thought that was what I said. ;)
 
Okay now I have that stupid Carley Simon (I think) song "Nobody does it better" runnning throug my head, thanks a lot! :mad:
 
Well it is less painful than having Carley Simon running through your head in person... (And now that has me thinking of "Being John Malkovitch"...)
 
Let's not take this too OT please.

Well, the point is it's not just like in HOI1. You have to go one step further and select the field just over the list of involved units (the one with, amongst other things, the stylized explosion). Once you see portraits of the opposing commanders, you should be getting battle sounds too.

Alternatively, you could check that you haven't accidentally got your sound on mute, or anything like that... ;)

If he is hearing other sound effects then his sound is obviously not muted. ;)

Also the posts I directed him to give clear how to for the matter. lets watch the spam please, see this thread for support forum posting rules.
