ERROR SOUND INITIALIZATION

[Spell]

Just got the game for PC, but I have no sound, I get the error:

ERROR SOUND INITIALIZATION

No audio output device is detected. Please connect and enable an audio output device then restart Rocksmith 2014

I use an exterior sound card RME Babyface.

Any clues?

Try using your onboard sound instead.

There are lot of music Apps where there is a setting to enable ASIO support, it enables low latency and better quatlity sound. ASIO could be the solution for your Rocksmith 2014 too.

It's solved, had to edit the ini file to allow rocksmith to share the audio interface.

Which setting did you change? :)

He's too busy actually being able to play the game lol. Aw. When you read this man let us know because I use an external audio interface and it's not registering it.

Sorry mate! As NakedNecro said I was to busy playing it hehe On the other hand I should have been more specific about the solution.

the tweak was on the rocksmith.ini file to set the ExclusiveMode=0 :)

Sorry to keep you guys waiting!

Now back to the game and I hope this solves your problems ;)

Cheers!

Didn't work for me with my Roland DUO-CAPTURE EX

The same problem via Roland Quad-capture and Win8.1

Editing Rocksmith.ini does't work

[stanito]

At least i have made it works:
Ini file config -
[Audio]
EnableMicrophone=1
ExclusiveMode=0
LatencyBuffer=4
ForceDefaultPlaybackDevice=1
ForceWDM=0
ForceDirectXSink=0
Win32UltraLowLatencyMode=1
DumpAudioLog=0
MaxOutputBufferSize=0
[Renderer.Win32]
ShowGamepadUI=0
ScreenWidth=0
ScreenHeight=0
Fullscreen=2
VisualQuality=1
RenderingWidth=0
RenderingHeight=0
EnablePostEffects=1
EnableShadows=1
EnableHighResScope=1
EnableDepthOfField=1
EnablePerPixelLighting=1
MsaaSamples=4
DisableBrowser=0
[Net]
UseProxy=1

On Roland Quad-Capture i put Driver Settings
Enable ASIO Direct Monitor
Enable Low Latency Mode
Enable Match With ASIO sample rate

On Windows Audio Config i put 48000 bitrate on playback and microphone and increased all the levels to 100%

Together with the rocksmith.ini it must work.

Hello everyone who uses RME! (Or other god-tier audio hardware which isn't exactly designed to be used with games.)

I finally figured out how to make Rocksmith 2014 work with RME Babyface, with exclusive mode ENABLED. It enhances the performance GREATLY.

In the Fireface USB settings window, the default buffer size setting is 256. With this setting, with the exclusive mode enabled, Rocksmith 2014 will just be muted. If you increase it, you will get audio but it'll be all messed up and crackly.

However: If you set it to 96 samples OR LOWER, it will work! I currently run Rocksmith 2014 with a 48 sample buffer, and LatencyBuffer set to 2 in rocksmith.ini. The difference is incredible!

(P.S. With these settings, the video will be lagging badly behind audio if you still got the video latency setting at 50. I turned it straight to 0, and now it's perfectly in sync.)

(P.P.S. Your mileage probably may vary depending on how powerful your rig is. With the last-generation i7 920, I've had no problems so far.)

Cheers and have fun!

I have been. Rocksmith will simply not play on any device by my HDIM, I guess because its my primary display device which some how makes the audio channel in it the default audio. Even when disabled, the game refuses to use my Realtek HD audio on board device.

just delete the rocksmith.ini then start the game
