Missing Sounds

[Frog Dad]

Hey, first of all I would like to say great game. I already played through it a while ago and wanted to play again seeing that it was just fully released. When I was playing however I noticed a lack of sound other than the occasional air vent buzzing and command noise. I would just like to know if this is a bug you are aware of or if it's just something I am experiencing.

I experienced the same problem at first; after a restart of the game, all sounds played properly.

Really? Because I just completed my first play through and thought, 'I love this game but the sound design is seriously under-cooked'. :-(

[Frog Dad]

Yeah, there should be music and other sounds that I'm guessing you didn't hear. And thanks taskrot I'll see if it has fixed itself.

This is a bug. I'm looking into it. It happened to one of my Early Access players and I thought I had it resolved. I'm starting a pinned bug list. I'll add it there too.

I also experienced this bug the other day. I got the game on release day. I had sounds for a while, but at some point they stopped. I remember thinking that it had been awful silent for quite a long time. It *might* have changed around the same time that I was messing with the audio in the computer in the area with all the books and disks.

Thanks, WC. I'll start there. I'm definitely looking into this.

For a little more information, I'm developing using Unity and I'm using their standard sound integration as well as a plugin that gives me a ton more control. I'll bet it's either a conflict between them or a problem with the plugin.

I'll do some more testing and see what I can figure out.

I had the sound bug as well. I installed and immediatedly played the game and had no sounds from the beginning. No typing/scrolling sound on the main menu. The whole time I felt like there were missing sounds but I thought maybe it had to do with the whole isolation and feeling alone theme. Some sounds were present (as mentioned, air vents and other backgrond noise) and the music played, but nothing else.

After I finished the game and it returned me back to the main menu it had a computer typing sound as it scrolled all the menu options that wasn't there when I started. So I started a new game to see if that carried through and now all of a sudden sound was everywhere. Windows and doors opening had swooshes, there were footstep sounds, doors that didn't open had beeps, etc.

Almost a different game once the sounds were present, but in a way I felt even more isolated and alone playing with so much silence.

I didn't recognize it as a bug at first or I would have tried to pull some logs or something. It only happened the very first play through. I've started up the game 15 or so times since and sound has always worked, so it's something with the initial install. I also checked my Event Viewer from the time I first started and nothing got logged.

I'm disappointed I just turned the game off for the first time, because I enjoyed just having the environmental sounds.

Still having this issue.

Just started this up and it's dead silent. Wierd. Guess it hasn't been handled yet?

Well okay, there's just no footstep sounds or door noises, the audio in the library played and some other switches here and there.

The silence makes me feel like i should expect a jump scare. Geez.

Yeah, just try restarting the game and maybe verifying game cache and it should be perfect.

Bug still here : first game start no sound, sound comes the second time.

I got this as well, just got the game and first thing I do when I get a game is fiddle with the settings, I heard music as I adjusted it down to 3, but once I started the game it was completely silent, I went back in to the options and the music wasn't playing there anymore either, so I decided to restart the game, but when I exited the game, I got a crash dialog, not a great start, but I am gonna keep at it :)
