My guns "don't make no noise!"

[Mr. T]

Now, what's up with this! ..

All of a sudden I get all the normal sound out of the game - except MY guns... I can't hear my own guns shooting. I can hear all the other stuff like music, other guns, explosions, but I just can't hear my guns. Makes it tough to keep track of what's going on.

Anyone got any ideas? I've checked the sound options and everything looks OK. I use the 5.1 option, because I've got 5.1 sound.

I'd just reload the game but I'm afraid I'd lose all my progress (I'm working the "Mogadishu Mile" and I'd hate to lose everything else I've done). Starting over sucks unless it's voluntary.
