@Unna
I tried running in compatibility mode. Still no sound.
It's a fresh installation.
@Voodoo
I have issues on all installations (steam, normal) with original and fan missions. (Missleading title I know, sorry bout that)
I have issues on fresh original game patched with 1.27 T2Fix from steam. Without even trying a FM.
I can try doing what you described but seems unneccessary as original doesn't work ok.

Are you posting your entire thief2.log file? The forum may not allow posts over a certain number of lines. Each of your log file posts ends with ": CreateDevice: res = D3D_OK ;...."
I looked at my .log file for comparison and the next line after "CreateDevice" deals with sound.
": OpenAL Init..."
If you don't have that section in your log file, it may provide a hint about the problem. Go in to the game's audio options and cycle through the hardware acceleration options. For me there's "OpenAL", "Off" and "On".
Also, try installing OpenAL which is free.

ok, lets try to create a minimal working T2 install and see what happens - extract the raw NewDark 1.27 package into your (unmodified) steam T2 folder (would not recommend doing this for any other than testing purposes) and check whether you'll get proper sound in the vanilla game.

I thought I fiddled with all sound settings, I was sure I tried all there, I even fiddled with most of the windows audio settings (Enhancements etc.) but I guess I missed this. I'm puzzled.
FIXED: hardware acceleration = OpenAL
I'm sorry I missed this and thank you all immensly!

Wait, you wrote, all fan missions work with sound except Calendra's Legacy. Then you installed T2fix and sound was completely gone. Is that correct? What did you install previously?

note that this is basically circumventing the issue, not fixing it - sound should work even with the default settings. so whatever problem is lurking inside your system is still there.

Phase 1:
At the beggining I moved all my Thief installations from my Win7 machince to my new Win10 machine. (Copy paste)
All my installations we're 1.26 I belive, or older.
My win10 updates are mostly installed (1 missing)
First mission I tried was Calendras Legacy which was completely devoid of sound in the main menu, not even music was playing.
When I checked other missions the sound was playing. (I did not realize at this point that certain (most) sounds were missing)
Phase 2:
I install last windows update. I patch my thief installation with 1.27.
I realalize now that all missions are not working
(though some have more background music than others, but menu clicking sounds are not present and never were, even in phase 1)
Phase 3:
I wanted to try fresh installation but I don't have a CDrom drive anymore and I only own Thief 2 CDs so I bouight Thief off Steam and used that.
Clean installation with 1.27 Patch still not working.

I'll be more than happy to help find that issue.
If you need I can get you access to my machine over skype screenshare or something.

This is just a sound driver issue on win 10, and OpenAL fixed it. You should have mentioned that you switched to a new OS.

Unfortunately the issues continue
I played first mission of Calendras Legacy and It went ok.
I started playing second mission when things fell appart.
The problem I'm having now is that when I finish speaking with the woman at the start the games slowly but sure starts to lag.
Always after the end of the talk so I'm guessing it could be connected to the timer that starts?
This did not happen in mission 1 at any point but always happens in mission 2.
Here's the video of the problem:
(I skipped the chat with the lady though on quick save and quick load she starts speaking again (this has awlays happened))
