    New Steam update kills sound

    This game ran perfectly until the Steam update that was just force-applied. Now there's no sound in the game, even tho it still works perfectly in all of my other games. Defense Grid has gone from being great fun to unplayable in the course of a 30-second upgrade.

    I'm running an HT Omega Claro.

    I felt it was "unplayable"

    I felt it was "unplayable" just because I'm relying a lot on audio cues in the game - I purchased it fairly recently and am still working my way through the story levels for the first time.

    I should clarify that I'm on XP Pro, 32-bit. Audio drivers are up to date.

    Yeah, definitely need sound

    Yeah, definitely need sound on the first play through - the narrator is great. Just checked the Steam forums, looks like everybody is having this problem. Hopefully it's a quick fix.

    Just a post to say I'm also

    Just a post to say I'm also having this problem.
    Verify didn't work, now trying a full reinstall of the game as I've known that to sometimes fix things for other Steam games.

    Edit: Reinstalling didn't work.
    I've got other XAudio apps working on the system, so that isn't the problem.
    Using Windows 7 RC 64-bit.

    No sound, Win7 x64

    Also killed sound for me. Was working fine before the update. Tried disabling other sound devices, reinstalling directx, and a few other things. No go. Wish I could at least roll back the patch to the old version.

    sound gone, gone, gonesky ....

    sound gone for me as well. Vista Home Premium 32bit. Also noticed when I started the game after the steam update that it reloaded/installed some DirectX thing, although I wasn't really paying attention to it, just thought it was a bit odd.

    Same setup and Problem

    Everything worked fine before update. Now no sound. Sound cues VERY important, if not essential. We need some response ASAP.

    Audio Settings Issue as well.

    Sound is an issue, true. However under Audio settings I find you can't change the Voice Over setting. Master, Music and Effects all seem to work though.
    .
    Wow, this patch really messed things up eh? Hehe!

    The Steam update also killed

    The Steam update also killed my sound. I am using Windows XP Professional, with a Sound Blaster X-Fi. Updating my Sound Blaster drivers to the newest available didn't help. Please fix this ASAP, as I really like the game alot, but I don't like playing as if I am a mute.

    Frustrated

    This is really frustrating....after scouring the forums for a fix to having no sound in the demo, I finally got it to work, and then I buy the full version, and no sound again. This is what's wrong with PC gaming. I shouldn't have to work this hard to enjoy a game. Why hasn't there been an official response yet?

    It's been less than 24 hours

    It's been less than 24 hours since the update, give them a chance.
    It is frustrating though, I agree.
