Has anyone had luck getting WarCraft III running with Sound?

It installed and will run on x64, but I get an "Unable to initialize base
sound services, sound will be disabled".

It runs normal, as admin, in compatiblity mode, and as admin in
compatibility mode, but I get the same error regarding sound. I have tried
with built in and creative audigy card.

Sound is fine in Vista, Prey Demo, and Oblivion.

Thanks

Anyone have luck to run warcraft III in x86 of vista beta 2??
i get a could not initialize DirectX error,anyone could help?
 
sounds works great for me, as does framerates. I can't get my ultra res to
work though...1900x1200, so it looks like crap basically.
 
Sound works after the newest update? Should Warcraft support high res'? I
have an 1680x1050 monitor, but believe I used to run it in 12x10 or
something.
I will have to try it again...it was one of my first installs..have since
changed machines/sound cards, etc.
Which sound card are you using?
 
generic piece of crap that dell put in my computer. WoW in XP supports my
1900x1200, but I can only do like 1024x768 or so in vista, its baaaaaaaaad.
Yeah sounds is crystal clear.

I have exactly the same problem, The game and expansion run fine with sound
until I patched them to version 120e, then i get the error on the main menu
and no sound, not sure what is causing it, no problems with the latest
version in Windows XP.
 
I have similar problem with sound in Warcraft III
When i play Warcraft III in v.1.07 Sound works fine.
But when i update it to 1.20e Sound cannot be initialized.

In Polish version of Warcraft this problem too occur.

Hi,

There is a way to make the sound work in windows vista rc1. tested in
warcraft 1.20e

download wc3banlist (newest) and winpcap beta 4 (make sure u configure the
banlist properly)
under the wc3banlist settings choose directx hook api message type instead
of GDI
load warcraft (wc3banlist should also be loaded)

sound works!... don't even ask me why it works because I dont know either
 
I am using build 5600, and I have tried wc3banlis and winpcap with NO luck.
It seems there is no easy way to fix the sound problem. I do not understand
why Microsoft could not fix this little poblem in an easy download. I play
Warcraft 3 on Battle.net a lot. I am about to lose my patience.
 
I have downloaded wc3banlist and winpcap but i still cant get it to
work...can anyone tell me how to config wc3banlist or how to get it work with
sound? please this is driving me crazy
