Hi,
I have several programs running on my PC, which I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 Pro (64), from Windows 7.
Everything appears to be running fine, except recently, I have noticed that the some sound affects, on some programs disappear - not all sound affects!
Note that I do not have any Registry cleaners!
Two Examples of this problem, are Photoshop CS6, and Microsoft Money 2005 - Both these programs run perfectly otherwise!
With Money, I have observed that the opening theme music disappears; however other sounds appear OK - I get clicks, when appropriate!
With PS, normally, you get warning dongs, when you do something incorrectly; however, these sounds have disappeared, together with other sounds!
I have discovered how to restore these sound affects.
Namely by reinstalling these programs!
However I have to ensure that they are clean installs!
It is essential to remove all trace of the previous programs; namely, by deleting folders in the Program Files, by deleting folders in the Program Files (x86), and to delete the relevant keys (regedit) in the Registry!
If I just uninstall, without cleaning, the problem persists
I never had these problems with Windows 7
This is not a Show Stopper, but a bit of a Pain.
