Wow! Amazing what a single character can do! It fixed it! You were right, the loud sound I was hearing in the 2.08 version was intended, just super loud for no reason. Not only that, but the game seems to load twice as fast now than it used to (somehow?). I very much appreciate your help in all this. BTW, sorry I didn't get to respond last night, it was already late when I saw and responded to your message. But I just woke up and things are working as intended

Alright, I will try these things before I go to bed. Damn time zones >:|

OK, I just tried both things you suggested. First I used your .bat file and got the necessary logs: openal_log.txtmy_nasty_issue.txt Second, when I put that command in the console and started A New Job, the sound worked fine for a couple of seconds, but once I turned the corner of the first alleyway the sound stopped. I did some more testing with this command on and I found that jumping on wooden surfaces causes the sound to cut out. Hopefully my logs tell you something helpful.

Hello, thank you for all the replies. I just woke up but i have school in a bit so it may be a while before I can test these things. I can give you my specs tho. 1. I tried both the x64 file and the non-recommended 32-bit file from the official website. 2. Windows 10 3. CPU: i7-6700 (still have a shitty pre-built from a couple years ago I decked out with more ram and a new graphics card) 4. I tried the training mission, A New Job, and found a random fan mission, Business As Usual. The same effect happened in all three. 5. It was just a page turn sound effect, but it was mixed way louder than any of the other sound effects. Would have been fine if it was quieter. If you're still curious I can record a video of the sound, but that will have to happen after school. I will test these things out as soon as I get the chance.

I had a problem with my game where there was no audio, but there was a thread I found a while ago that fixed it by setting your headphones frequency to 44100 hz, which restored the sound, but there's still one more problem. Whenever I change pages in a note, the sound would mute, and I would have to restart the game to get it working again. This isn't really a deal breaker, but it basically means if I want to read a note in a mission (usually with useful information about loot spots in the level), I have to quit the game afterwards or I won't be able to play the game. Really kills the mood of the game for me, so I've been scouring the internet for solutions. I tried both the official and unofficial installers, I tried downloading the game from ModDB, but still nothing. I did however, find an old 2.08 build of the game on ModDB. I figured at this point my computer just doesn't like the 2.09 version so I would download that version and hopefully it would work. And something interesting happened. I loaded up the training mission and read the book to check if it was working, and this awful compressed (very loud) page turn sound effect played that nearly blew my eardrums out. So the sound was working at least, but it's almost worse now that my ears are getting blasted every time I read a note! My theory is that this sound effect was (rightfully) taken out of the game, and some line of code still refers to it playing, but I know nothing about coding so I wouldn't know how to fix it. If anyone finds a solution please respond ASAP. I've played all the Thief games and Dark Mod is the only reason I keep living.
