No Game Audio

[plucky falcon]

Hello!

Here's a link to the thread where we tried to solve the audio issue - https://discord.com/channels/1004072305527369840/1138636849066283008

At the very end of the thread there are step-by-step instructions on what to try.
To all that I'd add only that that build with turned on audio logging is very old, so you should back up your saves, if you care about them.

without trying the old build, sadly none of the steps worked for me, it did detect and fix errors but the game still has no audio 😦

that's unfortunate... 😩

Well, then I'd need your logs or at least your dxdiag.txt file.
And as much info as you can give about your configuration that might be relevant to audio. Like what's your audio device, do you have any bluetooth devices connected and so on.

Another possible issue (I don't think it's in the link I've provided) is that your audio driver may be occupied exclusively by another process.

Try going to Sound Control Panel (In Win10 it's in Sound Settings in the rightmost panel; in Win 11 it's a button in Sound Settings at the bottom, called 'More sound settings'), choosing your active audio device there and turning off its exclusivity mode.

Maybe? But other games I play do not have this issue. For example, I can play overwatch while watching a movie on my second monitor, both have sound no issue. I genuinely do not think its my computer at all, considering everything else works fine except for this game.

We're preparing another build with audio logging turned on. I'll tell you when it's ready, hopefully that will help narrow down the issue.
Right now we can only guess.

New player here, I have the same issue. Cutscene audio plays fine, but none at the starting menu and none in game part. Sound is working find on my machine otherwise and no other game has this issue (and it does play sound in the game cutscene).

That's from Unity's Player.log.

I was able to resolve this via the dxdiag method which showed a "Error: Problem Getting Extra Sound Info" warning. WIndows 10 reported the drivers were up to date and fine. All System and other games worked with sound fine.

Using GeForce Experience I reinstalled basic sound drivers and it is now fixed.

That said, I believe this is 100% something the developers should fix on their end since no other game in my collection is vulnerable to this issue (so they are, presumably, handling it). I do play a lot of Unity games, as well.
