no sound when using headphones [SOLVED]

[T'ak Hyun-Shik]

whenever i use my headphones there is no sound besides the shotgun in the opening scene when you launch the game, yet the audio works fine if i use my speakers... is there anyone else with this problem because i can't seem to find anyone who does

i use a razer nari wireless if that helps at all

Switch to that audio device BEFORE you launch the game.

thats what i do + if i can still hear the shotgun this wouldn't mean anything

Look on the taskbar audio speaker open volume mixer check Steam and RDR2 audio is full.
Please ensure the Razer Nari is not muted in your operating system and that the headset is set to be the default playback device in the Audio Control panel or in the Software Audio Options.

Check the Realtek HDaudio manager if you have Realtek on your mobo.
Maybe its using 5 or 7.1 stereo surround, Or something else try 2 channel stereo.

This is a long shot, but as you posted this recently I was wondering if you'd found a solution? I am having the same problem.

I'm using Windows 11 and can't find anything for 5.1 or 7.1 under the sound settings. Where would I be able to see that?

Plug in your Headphones prior to launching Game.
Double check the Properties for your Headphones in Windows Sound Settings and ensure they are set to 2.1 Stereo and not some form of Surround Sound such as 5.1

If you plug your Headphones into Front Case Line-Out, on some audio cards or motherboards the front audio counts as a separate audio output device. Ensure this is set to default before launching game.

So I've gone through two rounds with R* tech support and it's just endless rounds of being switched around from person to person with them going through random points on whatever checklist they're using. I really like this headset but software-wise, it's definitely had some weird issues.

Well when it's on your end with your PC. Folks like Rockstar or Steam support can't help you troubleshoot your PC issues.

talking to R* tech support is like trying to get your dog to understand videogames

How hard is it on PC to plug in your audio and then go make it the default. Then all of the other audio options you do not use, disable them. It's really that simple.

you clearly dont understand the problem SINCE NONE OF THAT WORKS! just dont buy razer nari, problem solved

So I have this issue only sometimes randomly. What works for me is going to my sounds tab, playback, disable my headphones then enable them back. For some reason it seams like it tries to switch my audio source output. This happens on headphones and my computer speakers both.

If the audio device is USB then ensure it's plugged in and set to default before launching a game
