I, too, play with no sound--usually. That's because my computer is tweaky, perhaps due to the fact that I'm using Widows ME. Every once in a while (slowly becoming more & more frequent), the sound cuts out for no reason. I can get it back by Saving the game, or Alt-Tabbing out and playing a little bit of an MP3. The bad part is that if the game tries to play a movie while the sound is jammed, the computer locks up & I have to reboot.

It's the computer's fault, not the game's: It happens with other games too (But, interestingly enough, not with Age of Empires, which is a Microsoft product.)
