IS possible to play without sound card??

[Uri3l]

A friend of mine can't use a soundcard, problems with motherboard i think. Anyway, sound is not so important in victoria and we want to play in mp. He can't start the game, get a errors message that have problems with sound card. So is there a way to make victoria work without a soundcard?

Can't you turn off sound (and music) with the Victoriasettings.exe program in the main game folder?

You could disable the sound card, that'd probably fix it.

You could simply edit the setting.cfg file in the Victoria folder.

Change "MUSIC_ON" to "MUSIC_OFF"

Also, try renaming the avi folder to aviold or some such as see if that helps.

Not sure if it's possible or not; I have tried in the past with a few EU-engine games and couldn't get it to work IIRC. I don't think disabling music is enough; you'd need to disable sound completely somehow (which they added as an option in EU3 engine; useful for identifying audio problems).
