Problems with my sound!

[Joseph]

I have Vista the proffesional one i think, and i have had Kotor 2 since it came out for PC, i have got the Vista on a brand new 2008 mac so all the systems are new! But when i start up the game it won't open and windows tells me that the game has stopped working and it is trying to find a solution! However when i went into "configuration" and turned on "disable sound" the game then works, but if i "scan hardware", i seem to meet all the system requirements for my sound. It says it's completly fine! Although it says my graphics card fails but my graphics card is: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS, which i believe the game should work fine on! im really confused and don't know whats wrong! It's also so annoying playing the game with no sound!! Heres my system info:

It's a Vista issue. Vista changed the way that programs interface with soundcards/audio drivers, and this borks some pre-Vista games, like KOTOR 2 (but, oddly enough, not KOTOR 1). Some audio drivers still work with the game, but others give you no sound at all.

 

I also have Realtek audio drivers with Vista, and I also get no sound when I try to run the game on my desktop. (Fortunately, I also have an older XP laptop that can run it on minimum settings.)
