12doze12 -> No sound on new PC (12/24/2021 2:38:38 PM)

I got myself a new Desktop and for some reason I have no sound in game, other games and programs all have sound.

Things I tried:

- Update Drivers
- Install DirectX 9
- Various command line switch combinations

Windows build is 21h2 19044.1415, anyone have this version or higher working fine? Otherwise I may consider rolling back...

Any ideas of other things to try? [&:]

EDIT:

Fixed! My Windows version is a N version, it didn't come with Media Feature Pack so I had to add it to the Optional Features.

Make sure you have it if this is a problem in the future:

Check the source for your audio.

Feliz Natal!

Check the preferences button (2nd from the left at top of the screen) to see that your game sound settings are on.



12doze12 -> RE: No sound on new PC (12/24/2021 3:27:07 PM)

I have checked the audio source, switched around and disabled all others.

Also verified sound settings in-game.

Merry Christmas [:)]

-multiaudio is the only switch that affects audio. Try it with and without. My build is *almost* the same as yours (21h1 19043.1415), and sound is fine (I do not use that switch)



12doze12 -> RE: No sound on new PC (12/24/2021 4:48:02 PM)

Tried -multiaudio too and no luck

I'll see if its easy/possible to revert to that Windows version. Might be good idea for you to not update it [:D]

Can you provide a screen shot of your preferences like this?

12doze12 -> RE: No sound on new PC (12/24/2021 8:21:25 PM)

It's all cranked up to be sure [:D]

I'm fairly certain it's not WITP fault, the install is a direct copy from my previous pc. I have also done a clean install and have the same problem.

Nomad -> RE: No sound on new PC (12/24/2021 8:38:00 PM)

I agree that things look right, but you said that other games and programs have working sound. That would seem to mean it is not a Windows problem.



12doze12 -> RE: No sound on new PC (12/24/2021 8:41:29 PM)

Just my hunch that it's an issue with backwards compatibility.

Until someone shows up with my Windows version and says it works for them [:D]



Nomad -> RE: No sound on new PC (12/24/2021 9:01:15 PM)

I just updated to that version 21h2 19044.1415 and sound works fine in WitP:AE.

BTW, I am out of ideas at this time.



12doze12 -> RE: No sound on new PC (12/24/2021 9:35:20 PM)

Okay, thanks for checking [:D]



BBfanboy -> RE: No sound on new PC (12/25/2021 6:24:55 AM)

When you say you did a clean install, did that include both the base game and the latest official patch or Beta? Grasping at straws here ...



12doze12 -> RE: No sound on new PC (12/25/2021 11:39:14 AM)

I tried sound in every install: Base, Official Patch and Beta Patch

It's curious that I had a similar problem running IL-2 1946 on my old laptop because of a similar problem, not having Internet Explorer installed.
