hi guys (& girls),bought gta:sa yesterday, and have been having the same audio problems that quite a few of others have encountered - the voice not syncing with the video, and some of the sounds cutting out for no reason (although you can still hear the radio if you're in a car)after reading some posts that recommended turning hardware acceleration off using dxdiag, i did a bit more investigation. i mean, it worked, but who really wants to have a soundcard only to not utilise it?anyways, to get to the point. i've found a solution which worked for me, so hopefully it'll work for you guys too.in your gta:sa directoy, which should look something like \rockstar games\gta san andreas\, in the root directory, you'll find a file called "eax.dll". it would appear that this file is the problem.now, go onto google.com and search for eax.dll. you should find one which is version 3.0.6.6. (funnily enough, the version that gta:sa comes with is version 4.0.0.1)once you've downloaded "eax.dll" 3.0.6.6, rename the "eax.dll" in your gta:sa directory to something else of your choosing, then copy the "eax.dll" that you just downloaded into the gta:sa directory. at this point, if you've turned down your hardware acceleration, turn it back on.load up gta:sa, and you should find that your audio problems are now gone!!! woohoo!!! the audio should also sync back up with the video also. (i don't know why, but it does)what i suspect is that, rockstar went with a very very recent release of the eax.dll component, for which the drivers haven't been updated to handle, or any other number of reasons. nevertheless, by going back to a slightly older version, it resolves the key problems, and doesn't degrade the performance at all. sweet.hope that helps you guys. share the fun!

i have the creative sb live! soundcard and i had been having similar problems reported by others.. audio cutting out, some sounds worked great, others non existent. i tried some of the things others suggested, replacing the eax.dll file (be careful with that, the only version 3.066 i found was downloadable from a pay site)., tried turning off hardware acceleration, none of that worked.however, i did remember that i've had some similar problems running dvd movies on my pc and the solution was usually resetting the speaker setup. i do have surround sound speakers, but unless i manually turn off the surround sound config, i miss sounds when i play dvd's. so i opened my 'sounds and audio devices properties' for my sound card, selected the audio tab, and up at the top by 'sound playback' where it lists the default device, there's a button called 'advanced'. selecting that gives you the options to choose your speaker setup. i experimented with this some, and found that setting my speakers to 'quadrophonic' seems to work best.. the ambient sounds are back, as well as the missing sound effects, and there's still a sort of surround effect that is provided by four speakers.give that a try, and if that doesnt work, pick 'stereo headphones' or 'stereo desktop speakers'. just experiment with those combinations until you find the one that works best for your card.i dont know if this will work with non sb live! cards, but i think all the creative sound cards have similar properties.hope that helps some of you still missing the sounds and effects!-chanks
