no sound - solved

[nobody]

i have no sound in trackmania.. its completely muted.. everything!

[TMarc]

Since when?
Maniaplanet uses OpenAL, and there are possibly issues with the 32/64 bit versions which have been distributed recently.

i havn´t played it in ages.. and i think i havn´t played it since i installed win10 (which is also a long time ago)..
so i figured i could give it another go but then i realized i had no sound
the sound is also missing in valley and canon..

and thanks but i already installed openal and there is still no sound

[nobody]

ok i found a solution:

i had my sound settings in windows set to 24bit 48000 hz (i used this for sound recording reasons) and i forgot about it.. but now setting it back to 16bit 44100hz everything works fine!

[TMarc]

great! 16Bit 44100Hz is the standard, probably it was a typo.
Anyways, thanks for having shared your solution! Enjoy the game now

Well that's just great, I can't change this setting for my sound device. :/

what? you should be able to change it somewhere..

[TMarc]

In Windows 10: start the control panel (cogwheel symbol in the start menu), then go to the "Bluetooth and other devices", and on the right upper corner there should be a link "sound settings", click on that.
Select the default device, typically "Loudspeakers" with your sound card named below in gray, and click on the "properties" button on the bottom right.
A new dialog menu shows up, there select the "extended" tab (or just navigate through all the tabs there until you find it), where there is the default audio format for this output.

Some sound cards have own control panels where the setting is probably more easy to find.

I'm well aware of how to get to the particular setting - but my point is my hardware is locked to 24bit 48khz.

[TMarc]

Are you perhaps using additional drivers or applications which are blocking the settings?
Something like ASIO4all?
Or a mode of your soundcard? Like specific for audio production?

[NTripleOne]

I literally can't change it.

Are there other outputs?
Headphones is normally only a secondary output which inherits the primary output's settings.

[NTripleOne]

Please don't interpret this as me asking for help how to change it - I know my hardware and it is fixed at these settings, I'm just showing you it cant be changed.

Made a little progress, it's definitely related to the bundled openAL libs - I delete them from the TM folder and sound works until it redownloads them after logging in. :/

I am having sound problems too, but I haven't found any thing that works. I tried this audio output thing and it didn't work.

Check drivers, nothing. Tried admin mode and compatability, nothing. Not sure what to do.
