No Sound, and game fails to load

[nohitreg001]

Well seems this game is a steal for £5- if you can get it working.
I've set the play config and loaded up the game- Instantly there is NO SOUND AT ALL.
I then proceed to enter paradise city- and some lovely videos play with no sound, and it appears i get a learner pass... THEN NOTHING.
The video just loops and loops and loops.........

Specs:

Intel 3.0ghz cpu
ATI 4870
Win 7 64 bit


PC plays every game new and old with no probs. But Burnout is just tht, a burn out.

Can anyone help>?

thx in advance!!

look for BurnoutParadise.exe within the burnout folder in your steam common folder (usually C:\Steam\steamapps\common\burnout(tm) paradise the ultimate box\) right click and go to properties. Go to the compatibility tab and check run in compatibility mode, ensure that "windows xp service pack 3" is selected. Hit apply then try loading again.

Thx for trying..but tht does nothing- exactly the same.
what is strange is when i open the task manager to close the crashing video loop the sound starts to play...
