Hi

I can't hear warp sounds, gun noises, or any other 'sound effects'. It's driving me crazy!

I can only hear the background ambient music and Aura voice overs, with the 'target lock' sound effect as well in the game. I also heard the audio for the voices during the tutorial missions.

I have found a previous post from last year relating to this here but there's no update as to whether there is a fix and the thread is locked.

I have tried-

  • Uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
  • Minimising and maximising the active window.
  • Starting a sound programme (VLC) before opening the game launcher.
  • turning on and off the sounds in-game (to prompt re-loading).
  • Using the advanced audio settings to turn the options up on gun sounds to full.
  • using speakers and headphones.


None of the above has worked. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix???

I am on Windows 10 with the 'high definition audio device' driver- the standard one with windows. I'm on Nvidia too, if that helps. I can't see how this can be the problem though, as I do have sound- just not all of it!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

This could easily be a problem related to hardware. have you tried disabling HD audio and running it directly from the onboard Audio device on the mobo.

Also if you adjust sounds manually in game it can have adverse effect on other sounds.

Also are you sure you are not too zoomed out to hear the sounds:)

Have you tried reverting your audio driver back to an earlier version.

Hey.

I had the same issue. I wasn't able to fix it until i deleted the documents eve folder and uninstalled the game. I deleted the temp save location also that steam used. I installed it fresh and made sure it re-downloaded all the files. This fixed it.

I can hear mining lasers and engine noise now. guns too.
