Subject: CM8000 Fatal Error Initializing Sound Playback

Author: Stephen A. Boak

I recently acquired a new PC, and installed CM8000 on it (custom installation,
not sure by memory what I installed or omitted; I usually skip the intro video,
and don't use tutorial features or voice move announcements).

When I try to run the program I get the following error message:

A fatal error occurred initializing Sound playback.  The program will now
terminate.

I know there were some comments a while back about CM8000 and Sound Cards.  My
PC is Athlon 1.33GHz, DDR 266 FSB, 512MB PC2100 RAM, with nVidia G-Force 64MB
Video Card and onboard sound.

Any tips to resolve this problem?

I can live with no sounds (if I could turn all sound settings off--but how to do
this?), and sometimes I like just the basic sounds when the pieces move.

I haven't yet tried to uninstall and reinstall (perhaps more carefully selecting
the custom installation components).

Thanks in advance for any help.
