No sound in game at all
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Each time I load up ARMA 3, after several re-installations of the game and drivers as well, I have no audio in the game. I have checked the mixer, in game settings, drivers, and made sure other Steam games still have audio as well as uninstalling all add ons. Issue persists no matter what version of the game is used and no matter how the game is launched. (IE; directly from EXE ran as Admin or in Steam with or without launcher)

DX DIAG file is included {F27651}

Are you using on board sound and/or a sound card?

Have you checked your windows sound mixer (sliders) after you started the game (maybe only the game got muted)?

Have you ever had sound in ARMA3 before?

I use Razer Kraken 7.1s, which are USB so I assume they have a built in sound "card". I also tried using headphones that use a 3.5mm audio jack and my motherboard's integrated sound card, which worked - for everything but A3. I have had sound on the HDD I used as a boot drive, but I no longer use that drive for games or boot, that's all on my SSD now. I don't recall ever having sound on Arma 3 on this hard drive. Just tried my sound mixer after I started the game, made sure audio was enabled on everything, including the game, and that it was at a decent volume. Still no sound in game.

Hello,

please try to go to your Sound Settings and select your Headset as a default playback device.

  1. Right-click Sound icon in the lower right corner
  2. Select Playback devices
  3. Find you headse and set it as default

Let me know if this helps.

This did not work

Hello,

similar issue was mentioned in this FT ticket: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=16587

Please try to run the game with Troubleshoot Compatibility. Right-click on the game exe or the shortcut and select Troubleshoot Compatibility option.

Please let us know if this helps. You should be able to run game without the troubleshoot option if it's fixed.

Thank you

I have the same issue with the same Headset, tried Troubleshoot, still no sound at all
