No Sound in game. Cut scenes do have sound
I been trying to fix this issue for a while.
I have no audio whatsoever in game. I do have audioin the intro and cut scenes though.

I have never experienced such an issue.

Currently using my headset.
I have a i5 2550k - 16 GB Ram and 6870 AMD radeon

Im a bit clueless on what could be wrong. I can run any other game with no problems.

How does steam provide support for game? or is it with EA?
I just hope I didnt pay for something I cant play.

thanks for any assitance

Might be a bad audio codex or driver incompatibility. It may also be your video card drivers as well; some sound is run off the video card, although usually that's only the most rudimentary blips and bangs.

I'd suggest updating your drivers for both audio and video, checking the configuration of your gaming settings on your audio card or chipset (if you have on-board audio from the motherboard) and checking your GPU settings as well.

If that doesn't work, do a clean uninstall of the game, redownload and try again. If it persists, try Googling the problem. EA's troubleshooting guide or forums might have a solution.

I had the same issue. First, set my regular speakers in the audio jack to my default device and then disabled my wireless headset in audio manager. I also have the advanced setting for my speaker to be DVD quality. The sound then worked after the cut scenes. This is so dumb.

I thought this man was insane... but after doing the same thing... the sound is actually working.

What in the actual madness?

How in the world of computers??

What made you even attempt this.. you are a madman.

Thank you!!

I hate this solution :luvgaze:

It reminds me of an issue I had quite some time ago, though. I had a 5.1 sound system connected to my PC, and some games would only play certain monaural stuff through the center speaker which would then cause connected stereo devices (such as headphones or the stereomix channel) to not play sounds from that. Maybe that issue is related? I would assume in that case that VLC mixes the surround sound down into stereo, so the headphones get their stereo signal instead of surround sound?
