No sound! NEED HELP!

[SeeiAge]

For some reason the sound works fine in the loading screens but as soon as i get into the game the sound doesnt work. Getting into a game the sound doesnt work too. Music or effects. Anybody else facing this? Any help? The sound is turned on in game as well as on the computer..

Someone else said they had this happen to them on Windows 8.1. Are you on Windows 8.1?

[SeeiAge]

Yeah i am, I wonder if that will be fixed. It would be stupid if it wasnt. Any word on how to fix it?

[dycaite]

As far as I know this game requires Windows 10 :/

[Powellinho.72]

so it does work on win 8?

[SeeiAge]

it works perfectly fine on my windows 8.1 except for the sound. Not sure why.

[Jackrobo94]

is this for real? I've got no sound either. what BS is this? it only works on Windows 10?! its a 20 YEAR OLD GAME.

[Astrael00]

Has anyone found a fix for this issue yet? I have windows 8.1 as well, but I'm not sure if it is safe to buy the game right now or wait for a fix/patch/announcement.

I have found the solution on the net. I am not on Windows 10 and I had the Sound issue also
Do this: go to C:/ WINDOWS / SYSTEM 32. Then you will find XAudio2_8.dll. Make a copy of this file and rename it XAudio_9.dll. You need to have Administrator's right to do that

Don't know if you resolved the issue but since I see others describing this elsewhere, thought I would chime in. I was facing the same problem on Windows 10 x64 build 19041. Renaming xaudio2_8.dll to xaudio2_9.dll or xaudio_9.dll was of no use, as suggested by sone; for one, my System 32 folder already had xaudio2_9.dll file and copying xaudio2_8.dll and renaming to xaudio_9.dll didn't do anything. What solved my issue was reinstalling the DirectX End User Runtime from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Download/confirmation.aspx?id=35 . Worked!

No sound on Windows 10 x64, version 2004. I tried your solution, but no updates were found :(

Reinstalling the DirectX End User does not work for me. I run it and then it closes out completely like it crashes.
