Problem with Audio

[Kris]

When I open up my options to change my settings, the audio box is greyed out, so I can't turn change or even have audio ingame. Is there a way to fix this?

I had this problem to, do you know how to validate game cache?

[Kris]

No

[Vinier McNuggNugg]

In your libary right click the game and go down to properties. Then in the 3rd tab there is something that should be called validate game cache, click that and let it do its thing.

Have you recently done something like install a new audio/video program, are running Win 10, or have imported a codec pack?

First, update your sound card's (chipset's) drivers. Do a complete reboot afterwards.

If you continue to have issues and letting Steam verify your local cache doesn't seem to help, be sure to reboot and/or completely exit (Tell the program to exit) Steam and then restart it, (to clear up issues Steam can have with its internal cache) then you need to search for codec issues with SW:EAW and you'll find some downloads to codecs that need to be replaced, since they often get overridden by Win10 (or not included in it) or get altered/overriden by many popular codec packs.

I am not running Windows 10, I have not installed any new udio/video program, and I have not imported a codec pack

How did you fix it? Someone else might be able to fix their own problem with your experience.

Do you not see my comments?
Are you blind?

[Kris]

Sorry, I got you mixed up with another poster.

There's no reason to be an ass about it, either.

[Vinier McNuggNugg]

Hmm i was being calm about it, Now YOU are being a asshat here.
And even if i was, theres no reason to comment on it.

[Vinier McNuggNugg]

I just wasted a good oppertunity do something funny. Oh well.

I imagine that happens quite frequently...

:D :)

(I couldn't resist! Plus, it's given in good spirit. Feel free to flame back, in all fairness. But, know that there's no ill will meant on my part. I've just got a bit defensive regarding the Steam forums, in general. Best wishes.)

[Vinier McNuggNugg]

Best wishes to you to, i get defensive to and the blind comment ment no disrespect.
