Talking voices aren't heard in Hoyle 2008 - 8/5/2008 5:31:18 PM    Crow49Crow   Posts: 2 Joined: 8/5/2008 Status: offline The cards shuffling sounds and Hoyle music play fine all the time with absolutely no failures ever. However the talking voices are only heard for a couple of tricks of the game (Tarot) and then are silent. Every new redeal will turn the voices back on again, until a couple tricks later when once again they go silent. I am using Win XP with a laptop with integrated SB compatible sound built in. I am running the latest download version (not the CD version) and the update patch will not install, and error message says the patch does not recognize the game's main executable file. < Message edited by Brandy redux -- 6/29/2009 12:54:59 PM > Post #: 1

RE: Patch for Hoyle Card Games 2008 - 8/5/2008 6:05:19 PM    Brandy redux Posts: 2376 Joined: 2/7/2007 Status: offline Hi Crow49Crow, There are 3 patches for Hoyle Card Games 2008. Hoyle Card Games 2008 Support One patch is ONLY for people who bought the DVD. One patch is ONLY for people who bought the game through Digital River One patch is ONLY for people who bought the game through Trymedia.com So, you will have to be sure that you've downloaded the correct patch before you attempt to install the patch. And, if you purchased a download anywhere other than at Trymedia or Digital River, there's a very good chance that none of the patches will work for you. As for your sound problem, you might want to check to make sure your sound card driver is updated. However, since you said that every new redeal will turn the voices back on again, you might want to click on this link Troubleshooting Installation Problems to the "Troubleshooting Installation Problems" FAQ to check out the tips for making sure that the program was properly installed. < Message edited by Brandy redux -- 10/2/2010 3:40:48 PM > _____________________________ For More Help: Click on the FAQ link at the top of this page Then, click on the All FAQ's button on the next page To contact me by email, please send your message to pine_97@yahoo.com Post #: 2

As for the sound problem, updating drivers didn't solve but it did get me poking around and found the solution way down inside all the settings. With Win XP: Start, Control Panel, Switch to Classic View, Sound, Playback, Advanced, Performance, Hardware Acceleration, move the pointer from Full to the left a couple of notches. And now the game talking sounds all work perfectly, first time, the whole time, everytime! I don't see any reduction in performance either, now it all just works great (in reply to Crow49Crow) Post #: 3
