Sound not working in Sound Test, works in Playtest (Resolved)

[DunceInAwhile]

I am sure this has been asked before. I recently started using some scripts and since, my sound quit working in sound test as well as when choosing a sound/BGM for a map or event. When I run a Playtest, it all seems to be working fine.

Before I start getting all the comments about scripts and all that, I checked all of the scripts that I have "on" (these are not all of the scripts I have in script manager) and none of them have any sound configuration parameters. Meaning, that none of the scripts I currently have "on" change the sound configurations.

I have tried a new project, same problem.
I have shut the program down and restarted it, same problem.
I have shut my computer down and rebooted, same problem.
I have checked to make sure the audio files (M4A and OGG) are present, same problem.

I admit to not knowing a ton about scripts, but it seems to me, that if I don't have a script "on" that it wouldn't effect this, but I could be wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am also NOT re-installing Windows.... There HAS to be another way to fix this....

Just to make sure, is the volume for MV turned up? I only mention it because its volume is seperate from the playtest's.

This is going to sound stupid, but how do I check that?

Has there been an update to RPG Maker, or have you updated your audio software in the time that the problem started?

Also what scripts are you using?

The fact that the sound doesn't work in play test & audio file selection, but does work during play testing is odd. However, the fact that these problems arose within the same time frame as you introducing these scripts, makes me inclined to think you're too quick to rule them out. Did you transfer over the scripts to the new project as well?

The same way you check pitch & pan.

So, yes. I have checked the volume in the BGM selection window. Adjusting the volume there doesn't make any difference. I have since started a new project without using any plugins and I still have the same problem. I thought it was strange myself that it only seemed to become a problem after using plugins. My RPG Maker is fully up to date and I haven't updated my audio software.

Check the logs of your system for update actions to make sure.

If you don't see any occuring within the time frame, check to see if any updates to your audio software are available.

If that doesn't work, uninstall & then reinstall RPG Maker MV. It has a tendency to shake loose quirks like this.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try those.

Also this. I know Windows has a volume mixer with separate volume levels for each application; I assume there's a similar feature for Mac/Linux.

On Windows, just click the volume icon on the taskbar, then click Mixer. Double-check that MV's volume is set to something audible and isn't muted. As mentioned, the editor and game are run separately and have separate volume settings.

I got it working again! I just uninstalled the software and re-installed it. I checked the different volume levels in the windows volume mixer and they were all at maximum. Thank you all for your help and suggestions!
