No audio in game?

[Baruk Khazâd]

Anyone else getting no sound? I've searched it and can't find anyone with the issue. I get sound in the startup screen and the beginning character creation video with the narration, but when I get in game it's dead silent and I can't find any settings that are off.

Sound literally works in everything else, it's obviously a problem with ASA.

I'm having the same issue. There is music when starting up, but not in game. I was able to get it to work once after restarting my PC. However, that didn't work today. I've tried toggling between my Windows headset/speaker sources. No luck. I've tried setting the audio settings to default in game as well. Subbing to this thread to see if anyone has ideas. Thanks!

Does your PC use a USB-DAC for audio output?
I was not able to output game audio when I did so, so I disconnected the USB-DAC from the USB port and connected the speakers to the audio output terminal on the motherboard, and the game audio came out.
If not, I am sorry I cannot help you. Also, I wrote this using English translation software, so sorry if it was difficult to understand.

I do have a USB DAC/Amp. It has Bluetooth, so I connected to that in Windows vs USB. That got the audio to work. Not my preferred method, but it is working. Thanks for the tip!

I'm having the same problem.
I am using a USB-DAC named Creative Sound BlasterX G6.
The same phenomenon is occurring.

Really really thanks for your information.
I did enjoy playing game with my little DAC, and never thought that ASA cannot work together with that DAC.
Now I can enjoy ASA with the onboard sound, really thank for saving my game experience!

Solution for me was plugging the DAC directly into the motherboard ( back of your pc ) instead of using the front, and got my audio back.

I actually do use a Fiio DAC, have been for years. Kind of silly that it doesn't work. Thanks for the info though!

I ended up refunding the game for now, before I got over 2 hours of play. I'll re-visit it at another time.

Possible Solution

I know I'm necroing my own thread here, but I just ran into a sound problem in another game that it always worked in last night (Deep Rock Galactic), that I hadn't played in 6 months.

So I was having weird sound issues with Windows in Spotify's App, and then in Deep Rock... I did a little research and it's because I do use a DAC headphone amp (FiiO K3)

Basically Windows by default will set the audio sampling to too high of a rate, and some games and apps don't recognize that.

If you're having this problem go to System->Sound->Properties and under "Output Settings" set the Format to something like 32 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality)

That fixed my problem in the Spotify app, and in Deep Rock last night. I haven't bought Ark again since I refunded it, but I'm pretty confident that would fix this.
