Played Internet 2 person Multiplayer game.
Sound was working GREAT.
I was not the host.
Host had to quit to go to work. Saved Game.
Later, he LOADED that save game and we continued the game.
***PROBLEM*** I had no sound!
What changed? I plugged in my microphone is all. And that worked ... he could hear my voice ... however, I could not hear him on his microphone, I had no music ... and no sound effects.
My sound was working though since if I put my hand over the microphone I got feedback on my speakers. And as soon as I quit the game (we played 2 more hours then saved it again) ... my sounds were just fine!
So I restarted SMAC and sounds are just fine again.
Any idea why the sound stopped working ... and what I can do to start it up again if that happens? My sound settings in the game are up full blast as are my WIndows Sound Settings.
Thanks.

Try manually disabling and reenabling the master on/off button in the a/v prefs.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I did try sliding the volumes around ... but didn't try actually turning it off and back on. If it happens again, I will try that.
Thanks.
