Sound problem with GOG version

Hi all. Nice forum you have here!

I've recently run into a problem with a TAK install that had no trouble in the past. Suddenly, the sound has begun to cut out after about a minute of playing. The music continues, and so does the gameplay, but all the sound-effects have gone.

I am running the game on Win 8.1. Trying different compatibility modes does not work (and makes the game crash), nor did wiping and reinstalling the game, nor installing the 4.1BB fanpatch.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

The last detail is a small thing but might be important...I'm sure my old install had the option to use much larger modern resolutions somehow enabled. It's possible I tweaked the settings somehow back when I first installed it, and avoided the sound problem in a way I have now forgotten. Does anyone know what can allow the game to use larger resolutions?

Nvm, I've solved this on my own, and I'm leaving the solution here for posterity. While I had the shotcut flagged to run as administrator, it turned out (via some poking in the shortcut properties) that the admin account actually had no privileges over it. Assigning the usual set fixed the problem.

Cool, sorry I couldn't answer, didn't know what to say. lol

Good thing you've already fixed. Have fun.
