64 Bit Sound
 

As many may be aware those who use 64 bit by default have sound disabled in Graal, I'm wondering if this is entirely necessary, as out of the dozens and dozens of people that I have explained how to enable sound (setting tryloadsoundson64=true in game_config.txt) it has always worked.

Ofcourse now 64 bit machines are becoming more common place, it's possible that the lack of sound is something reducing the experience of alot of new players, the release of V6 may be approaching but it could well be worthwhile to modify the V5 Graal installation to have sound enabled on 64 bit if there are no technical issues.

I still believe the current V5 installation package should be modified to enable 64 bit sound by default if the release of V6 isn't imminent.
People still ask me why their sound doesn't work quite regularly and there has yet to be a single person where enabling it has caused them a crash/problem.

Hey thanks for telling me the remedy to my problem, I'm running 64 now.

Over a year later and this is still the case.

I can also confirm that a lot of new players have this problem. It's very confusing for them.
