Hi Dark, Well, the reason is that Microsoft rewrote its audio mixer in Windows 7/Windows 8 which needed to be done, but it broke compatibility with its older technologies like DirectSound. The problem is because DirectSound was dropped back in 2008 they chose not to update and fix it. Instead MS

Hi Charles, Technically it is the fault of the OS, because newer Windows versions have a newer mixer that isn't compatible with older games and applications that were based on DirectSound 8 and 3d hardware buffers. However, one can argue the game is also at fault here, because newer technologies
