I have Myst V Collector's Edition.

I originally installed it in September 2005 and had no problems playing the game. When done, I uninstalled it.

I just reinstalled it so I could follow a different path. I had no error messages when doing the install. However, I have no "voices" sound - I have all other sounds, but no voices. I checked all my drivers, and everything is up to date.

Is there a patch I need? What else should I try?

I know I don't need to hear the speeches etc. as they are in my strategy guide, but I like listening to them.

Thanks for any suggestions you have.

Did you install EoA from a clean boot? If not, try doing so.

First, do *all* of steps 1 through 5 under Overall Windows and Hard Disk Tune-up in Myst V: Clean Boot Install/Re-install With Win XP.

Then carefully read Installing and Re-Installing EoA, "1. Preventing Installation Problems - General Comments", and do whatever is appropriate for your system before re-installing EoA.

Finally, re-install EoA from a clean boot as detailed under Installing and Re-Installing EoA, "6. Clean-boot EoA Re-install, Previous Installation" in Myst V: Clean Boot Install/Re-install With Win XP.

If that doesn't help, please post a DxDiag report in this topic so that we can take a look at your system and make recommendations. See Myst V: System Requirements and Posting Guidelines under POSTING GUIDELINES, To post a DxDiag report for a how-to.

Run all of the graphics and sound tests you can before saving the report to a file, and post *all* of the file. If the manufacturer and exact model number of your PC aren't shown under 'System Information' (System Manufacturer and System Model) at the top of the report, also include that information in your post. Or, if you built your system or it was put together locally for you, include the manufacturer and exact model number of your motherboard.
