Absolutely no sound

[Яusted_reapeR]

I just bought shadow of mordor on the summer sale, but whatever I do, I don't get any sound.
I tried the solutions one can easily find online, like updating sound card drivers and installing latest directx, yet it's no use, I simply cannot get any sound out of the game.
Any ideas?

1. Go to your Library.
2. Right-click Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
3. Select Properties.
4. Click Local Files.
5. Click Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

OR

Change your sound option in game to something other than Theater.

Change your Windows Bitrate to what it says in this link. 48khz 24bit maximum.

Hope one of these fixed your problem. Should be fine.

Tried all of these, none helped, but I found out that the issue somehow is related to my headset.
When I set the sound to the (♥♥♥♥♥♥) built-in speakers in my monitor, it works fine.
When I set it back to be on the headset - silence.
I think it might be because the highest setting bitratewise I can choose with the headset is 48khz 16bit, no higher. Any idea how to fix this or will I have to settle with playing the game with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sound from my monitor?

Im having the same issue. works great with speakers but not with headset. so confusing

[Samael]

Can't you turn off the sounds on your monitors speaker and put your headset as the default playback sound device ?

Same here. Just works with monitor sound, not with the head set....so annoying

Sound works with my headset but sound effects are missing, I have that same issue with my headset not going above 16bit.

Trade with you. I have way to turn down or disable music in game and it plays constantly at 200% of all other sounds. The only way to turn it down is mute the computer or turn off the speakers entirely. Not fun.

[Яusted_reapeR]

Well well well, seems like the sound on this game is pretty problematic!

[Potato Soup]

I found a solution. Go into sound settings. It will say something like home theater and you need to change it to headset. It's on the listening eviroment setting.

Everyone who have sound problems it's on your end. It's a setting in your playback device or a drivers problem. This is not the game.

1. Change Audio Bitrate to 48khz 16/24 bit maximum.

2. Go in your Windows sound settings (Playback device) and be sure the device you are using like your headphone is set to the default one instead of your speakers.

3. If you have an audio deck like a do. Audio HD realtek in my case. Be sure everything is fine there too.

4. Go to realtrek website or your motherboard website and download the audio driver. Download the one that is the latest. I think realtek have the most recent version. If you have an external/internal sound just go to the official website of your card.

If it still doesnt work i have no idea because 99% of the audio problems are fixed by following 1 to 4.
