I open the game and nothing just complete silence.

headphones, same problem here

I use Bluetooth headphones too. But I've got sound... Well, it would be better not to hear it.

First, it was so loud that I removed headphones from my head immediately. Even setting sound volume to 1 is too loud for me comparing with other games.

Secod, the sound quality is so bad. Imagine someone put a speaker into an empty bucket and re-recorded it and put back into the game. I've checked original game to make sure it's not hardware problem - sound volume and quality is acceptable.

They definitely broke sound part of the game.

If you're using bluetooth headphonnes like me, try to disable the mic output of them as much as possible, something called hands-free audio. Eventually it should work

Doesn't work for me unfortunately. :( I disabled the Mic functionality in my headphones, and it still doesn't work.

Yeah, I used the old Windows device/sound properties window.

+1 Same problem. Bluetooth headphones.
Disabling mic did nothing. :/

Same issue with bluetooth headphones. Starting the game mutes everything, including programs running in the background (e.g. Youtube videos.)

I'm on Windows 10. Disabling microphone doesn't help. Changing microphone privacy settings doesn't help. Deleting config file and restarting didn't help.
Running out of options here.

I had a similar issue. My sound first worked fine. After playing for about one hour, it turned off, and it stays off, even after a game restart. I also tried console command "snd_restart" with no success. Only deleting the games configuration file, forcing the game to reset its settings, helped.
Go to this folder: `%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Nightdive Studios\Quake II\baseq2` and delete or rename file `kexengine.cfg`
This fixed my sound issue.

Scrap that. I found a solution.
In Windows sound settings (right click speaker symbol on task bar, click sounds.) Under "playback" my headphones had two entries, "headphones" and "headset."
I disabled headset and the problem seems to be solved.

That actually did the trick. Nice job.
