I have no audio. I have the RDR2 Online version.

[OppositeSpade]

I have no audio when I launch the game. I bought the RDR2 Online version off Steam. Whenever I load up I hear the shotgun. And then when it loads to the main menu I hear no sound from the ONLINE menu. Whenever I switch over to the story mode version of the game (which I did not purchase) I hear the audio while sitting in the menu. I also don't have any audio when l load up online either.

My drivers for my audio are up to date. I installed a new driver (10/1/23), but it still doesn't resolve the issue. My headset is powered on. My audio output is correct. My game isn't muted in the game and also not muted in the Windows sound setting.

I did research and found this was a common issue players are having. Is there a fix to this?

try this method (windows):

Be sure to enable cloud saves.

1. navigate to "documents" directory.
2. navigate to "Rockstar Games" folder.
3. navigate to "Red Dead Redemption 2" folder.
4. navigate to "Profile/A2C8374F" (the alpha-numeric folder will be different in your case).
5. Delete the single 'FILE' called "Player"
6. Take out the trash
7. Launch Red Dead Redemption 2 from steam.
8. When the launcher popup says missing files detected, click and confirm the option to use the missing file. Disregard the cloud save file.
9. Launch the game and load online.

This will force the server to reinitialize your save data online. Normally, I would use this option if am crashed by a modder or cannot buy things at shops but If you say the audio works otherwise then this may fix your issue.

In my case, the audio doesn't play when the shotgun shoots in the intro. It works in the main menu and the online screen. Normally the story mode screen audio once played will play in the online screen as well excluding the ambient atmosphere of nature. Also, different audio will initiate once you choose to load online seperate from the main menu screen.

Do note, you will not loose any progress by deleting this PLAYER file. You can't restart online progress as it is persistent.

ProfileSettings FILE is your graphics and audio and other settings preferences and I'm pretty sure cloudsavedata.DAT is your story mode progress.
