Does anyone else record or playback demos?

I used to record demos for every EB I fought on all my solo characters, or when I took part in superteams, or for other reasons, and I created a huge catalog of demos, and from time to time I'd sit back and watch them. A few times I put together collage videos, or to demonstrate something, and post it on my Youtube channel.

Recently I started doing that again, only I ended up without sound for any demos. I created an appropriate thread about it in the Troubleshooting forums...

No sound in demo playback

...and I'm still awaiting feedback on it, but it seems like the demo/video community we used to have is practically gone. Surely we have others who do this sort of thing. I know of "samuraiko" on Youtube, is one of our posters. But I hope we see more players get involved with this. Does anyone else use demos for any reason, or is it pretty much passe at this point?

Since I almost never use the sound anyway, I haven't really seen it as much of an issue. It does raise the interesting question, though...

What do yo use to play back your demofiles?

I am having the same problem, with vista OS. No sound. Ran some old demos that I know had sound, but now don't. I use zolth's launcher to start it up. My guess is a patch that the devs did broke the sound play back. Hmmm, think I'll send in a bug report next time I am in game.

I've tried Zloth's demo launcher, as well as just creating a shortcut and dropping the demo on it (how we used to do it before Zloth's). Unfortunately there is no sound.

I personally require the sounds with my demos, so this is a big issue for me at least.

I've literally ran out of ideas on this issue, and I'm not going to roll back to XP if that turns out to be the issue (which I don't understand why, as the game works just fine with sound).

It's not related to Vista - I'm on XP and I don't have sound either.
