I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with a sound issue in EAW and OP.
My crew voices can be heard at the initial Red Alert, and I never hear from them again. Music plays continuously without problems, and other sounds are OK.
I just traded in my reliable and trusty 450 Mhz system for a new Dell. Sound hardware is SB Live card using the drivers from the Creative Website dated 5/2000 and also the OEM drivers from Dell. Direct X versions tried so far are 8.0 and 8.1. I checked the voices zip file, and it is not read-only. Voices = 1 in SFC.INI and it is set to read-only. Operating system is Win98SE. I plan to try ratcheting down sound acceleration, but I was hoping that somebody has run into this before.
Can anyone point me to the right drivers, Direct X version, or game setting that might cause the dropout of crew voices?

There is a setting within the game that sets the level of verbosity. I can't recall exactly where right now but it does involve getting to the keymap screen and toggling to an Options button somewhere.

Try changing your 'Voices=1' setting to 'Voices=3'. Also, change your sfc.ini file's read-only status. It shouldn't be read-only.
If that doesn't work, try reducing the acceleration your SBLive is using.

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I needed. I have forgotten about that setting. I am glad that one of my teething problems is not hardware related.
