The Suffering sound problem

The Suffering was recently released as free. I figured I’d download it and give it a try.

However, I have this annoying problem with the sound. Randomly, certain sounds, usually gunfire and dialog, totally drops out. I have no idea why this would happen. I tried disabling onboard sound, but I got no sound at all afterwards.

Anyone have the slightest clue what’s going on?

I have no clue, but posting in the Help and Support section may help. Just a hint.

From another board:

I’ve done that already and it got rid of the more pressing sound problem, but the sound still drops out at points.

Well… I’m out.

It’s free now? I got the demo in a magazine a few years ago and as I recall it was genuinely boring, where is it available?

Go on, bore yourself with the full version!

How the fuck were you board, I’m terrified with the random screamer pop-ups and shit.
