Hi, I started playing the open beta today, like most, and have run into a problem. I don't hear anything. I checked the audio options in-game and everything is at 100% and still, nothing. If I could get help with this I would appreciate it, thanks.

The sound files are mp3. What OS and Service Patch are you running?

I have Windows XP Home and Service Pack 3

do you have skype?if you get a call via skype, while you are in STO...than you´ll have no sounds..

I don't have skype. I am on Ventrilo which is similar, but just tried with ventrilo off and still nothing.

Can you play MP3's? What is your Sound Card? Update you sound drivers. If that still doesn't work download this

Check out this thread for possible solutions:
No Sound on RealTek HD 64Bit Resolved

He running a 32 bit OS.

I had the same issues and I just updated my drivers and everything is cherry

Yes I can hear MP3's. I went to the realtek website and got the windows xp version of the hd drivers. Installed them and rebooted the computer. Went into STO and logged in and while it was loading my screen went black like my monitor shut off. Had to press the restart button on my tower. I didn't get any menu music at the character screen as well.
