Heyo!
I've noticed a lot more reports of the Audio not working recently.
I'm going to be completely honest and say that I (we) have no idea what is causing it.
This is one of those issues that seems to have no concrete fix, and we don't particularly know why it's happening, or why it seems to be getting more common.
I have a list of things that other people have tried, and I'm going to try and keep it growing as people find new ways to fix it, but honestly some of them are so vastly different and it seems to change with hardware and setups that there isn't really a way to pin it down.
The fixes I know of are:
- Launching in OpenGL
- Check Steam settings and make sure the Output is correct
- Changing sound settings on the PC to the correct output
- Plugging in Blutooth Headphones
- Disabling Alienware Sound Centre
- Disabling OBS
- Launching with the parameter ' --audio-device=2 ' or ' --audio-device=1 '
- Changing Buffer Size on Asio Control Panel (Is this a thing with other devices?)
- Disabling Zone Alarm firewall (possibly uninstalling it?)
- Using an Onboard Sound Card
- Change to Windows 8 Compatibility Mode
- Disable 'Full Screen Optimisation'
- Update Drivers!
Please comment if you're experiencing the issue and none of the above is working. I'll try and help narrow it down and figure something out.
