No Audio

[Sir Rounded]

I've been getting no audio at all outside of cutscenes. No voices, no sound effects, nothing.

Running:
AMD Ryzen 2700x CPU
RTX 2080 GPU
Gigibyte X470 Aorus Motherboard (no added soundcard)

Any idea what might be causing this? Otherwise, game looks and runs perfectly.

The only fix right now seems to be to install the game on drive C:
You can move the install folder through steam, right click P4G->properties->local files->move install folder.

For me it's not working on my C Drive and I have a laptop with an external SSD so I was wanting to download this game on the internal C drive so I can still play it incase I forget my SSD. Im trying to see if it works for me on the other drive now.

Same issue here. The game is on my E:/ drive so I'll try moving it to C:/ and report back

EDIT: Yep. Seemed to work. It may be that the game only likes the C drive, or the drive that has your OS installed on it. Although a friend of mine installed it to his I drive. It doesn't have the OS on it but it does have some OS files? Its also an internal drive, while my E drive is external, so it may actually be that the game doesn't like external drives.

I have the game installed on my C: drive but I'm unfortunately still experiencing this bug

I'm also running this on my C: drive but still don't have sound. Those of you who move it to the C: drive, do you move Steam or do you just move the game?

I'm having this issue too

[Tismotron]

I had the same issue, transferring to C: drive seemed to work for me

My installation is already in C: drive

Running on Bootcamp Windows 10

I have same issue. Some suggested to move game to external drive for Bootcamp. I don't have one so if you have you can try.

Hey guys, for those who're using bootcamp, I have the same setup as well, I think the current workaround is to just REINSTALL the game on an external drive that's DIFFERENT from your default installation drive (C: in this case). This works for me and remember to play in borderless mode to not skip any cutscenes.

Hey man, the link you provided just redirected me to the General Discussion page. Can you explain it here?

Yeah I needed to update some things so it's currently hidden. It will return in a bit. I'll try to see where else I can get it posted.

Caveat that this is primarily a solution for Bootcamp/Mac. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee results. Here it is:

1. Install P4G as normal

2. Install Link Shell extension: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html Quick start > Download once there.
(this is just for ease of use. If you know how to make symbolic links with CMD you can do that)

3. Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools - Create and format hard disk partitions.

4. At the top select Action > Create VHD. You can put it anywhere but I recommend the root of C: Make sure the size is set to at least 4G. The other options are fine so leave at default.

5. You should see a new partition with your main one. Right-click and choose initialize disk. Change GPT option to MBR. Everything else can stay at default. Then on the part that says 'unallocated' right-click and choose New Simple Volume. You can name and decide on a letter for this new drive. Leave the rest at default settings.

6. Open the path to your P4G game files. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Persona 4 Golden

7. Cut the 'SND' folder. Navigate to your new VHD. It should be a vhd or vhdhx file. Open and paste the folder inside. Then Right-click folder and choose 'Pick Link Source'.

8. Go back to the P4G main folder. Right-click inside the root and choose Drop as > Symbolic Link. It should look like a shortcut that says 'SND'.

9. Close everything out and boot up P4G. And if everything was done correctly you should now have a perfectly functional Persona 4 Golden with sound!

***For stability reasons I also suggest patching the P4G executable to make it Large Address Aware. Some performance issues may be solved this way. https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/

Eh.. did everything right but still no audio.. I guess I'll wait until a patch comes out for this.
