    Reinstall your audio drivers.

    May be wrong but I had the same issue try the following if you are running vista. Once the game is loaded go to your desktop and then click the volume control on the one the right.

    Open up mixer and check the volume for Burnout paradise

    Edit:

    Also try (alt + tab) out of the game and then go back after.

    Is that a cool game? Besides the audio issue described here?

    Worth the €20,- ?
