No NPC Audio or Radio Sound

[vinuraba]

Don't really see many people posting about this, but I don't have audio for any NPCs on the street nor do I have audio for the Radio in V's car. I can hear the main story dialogue but I'm not sure what else is missing for me. Any fixes?

Same problem... radio/minor npc/enemy's shots - no sound on my speakers. But headphones works fine.

Updated realtek driver problem solved.

I had been putting off updating to 2.82 because they remove the audio control panel, but I went through the annoying process of restarting my pc twice to do it. I think npc and radio is louder, but the tv in V's room is still but a whisper. Now I have no audio settings to play with. I can't find an audio control panel anywhere.

Same thing no radio, no tv, no npc audio. One weird thing is if you turn on scan mode, you can hear the npc audio.

Hey Everyone! I found a fix, hopefully it works for you guys as well. I unplugged my VR headset and relaunched the game and I have audio again. Guess I'll have to remember to keep it unplugged whenever I play this. Hope this helps at least one other person!

thankyou mate that was my problem as well.

For me its some characters, random lines from characters that work, radios, some guns. Whats weirder is that I don't have realtek drivers either

I had this issue... went to Sound > Speakers > Click Properties > Under Speaker Properties click Enhancements > Check Mark "Disable all enhancements" > Click Apply.

Now I can hear the music in the club and radio in the car.

I have tried all the fixes mentioned/linked here, tried using other sound inputs (HDMI sound through TV, headphones through aux jack, speakers through aux jack) nothing works. This is a bug that needs to be fixed by CDPR, not being able to hear NPC dialogue or enemy gunshot noises is really breaking immersion...

I had the same issue and what Kazutosan suggested worked for me. Have you tried that?

Problem solved!

Sound is always output in 7.1 format even when headphones or 2.1 speakers are connected. You can check it here: Control Panel - Sound - Speakers (select from the list) - Properties - Levels - Play Control (Balance) - and you will see a list of all channels.

This is solved by the fact that either in the settings of the sound card it is necessary to switch it to the mode of headphones / speakers 2.1 or turn off all additional methods of sound processing. Or switch to a sound card that only has stereo sound.

In my case, this solution helped:
Control Panel - Sound - Speakers (select from the list) - Properties - Advanced - Enable additional sound processing tools (check the box).

Not seeing that final option (Enable Additional) just the default format and exclusive modes...Not in Basic Windows settings or in the Realtek...though I did change things to 7.1 and finally heard the radio...but everything is seriously muted unless I boost my system sound way higher than normal. (Stereo setting Vol normallly around 10-12. Set to 7.1 Vol about 40+ to be able to hear anything)

Yeh I have the same thing. I also find there's no explosion or NPC gunshot sounds and a few other things too I think. There's quite a few posts about this issue actually. I imagine there won't be another patch for another day or two so we'll have to wait and see if that fixes it.
