My most recent attempt at gaming on Windows 7 met with an unfortunate result.

Recently I tried to run Mirror’s Edge on Windows 7, and I ran into the same problem that many have experienced.  The game installs fine and runs fine, but there is no sound during the animated cut scenes.

Some people have fixed the problem by installing the OpenAL drivers, but unfortunately this did not fix the situation for me.

Therefore I am able to run the game, but I can not hear the story that’s revealed during the movies.

In what is certainly a related issue, if I play the BIK movies through the official player outside of the game I experience the same result.  The movie plays, but there is no audio.

Granted, the cut scenes in the games do have sub titles, but that hardly makes up for it.

See you folks later.
