No sound

Post by Schepel »

I have no sound. Completed several campaigns to date. I haven't changed anything, just out of the blue the sound stopped working. The game isn't quite the same without it.

thanks, is this a standalone version or steam one?

error message from the report, system errors etc

Microsoft Corporation.AudioPlaybackDiagnostic.4.5
OriginWebHelperService.exe

no game ones

recommend, updating drivers and loading with a clean start, so only steam and AV drivers loaded on startup and retry

if that works, then something in the startup conflicts with the game, if not, it's a driver or system error but without a report on which or what, more information would be needed

Try disabling your sound card and see if you get any sound coming through on your monitor speaker. If you do, it'll probably mean your sound cards to blame.

good advice as always, you can also try your second sound device and see if that's supported / works better once updated as well, as SB cards are great, but drivers in windows 10 can be a bit hit and miss tbh, where as Realtek even almost 4 year old ones may work better

The game has been working fine up until now, so I very, very much doubt the drivers are suddenly to blame. At any rate, the soundcard drivers are up to date, however odd that may seem. My issue is that win 10 and my sound card don't get along all that well and I have had some trouble getting everything to work in the past. However, at this point, the only time I get no sound is when playing the game. Everything else works fine.

The sound works again. Haven't changed anything.

Weird.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback so far and if anybody can think of something that may conflict: let me know.
