The Isle

The Isle

No sound
I've tried everything. I give up. I'm refunding the game, I reinstalled twice verified integrity of the files. Made sure it was not muted in xbox game bar, or my volume mixer. I deleted the "Saved" folder on the appdata/local/theisle. I can't get my sound to work. I get sound for a split second when the game launches, then completely mute from then on. If someone can give me an actual fix, I might rebuy the game.

Maybe a setting issue

If you cannot hear in-game audio (even if you still get audio for other programs), your audio output device may not be set to default. Your default device will have a green check. If there's no green check on the device you're using, right click the name of the device and set it to default

There are other things you can look at (like in your device manager) that may not be the game itself, google way on fixes and settings

If sound pops for a few seconds and stops, also check your physical connections are good

I've checked this going through sounds and making even sure that the game was using my specific sound device. Even setting it to be specific instead of default sound device. I'm just not sure why this game doesn't have a audio device manager in the sound settings. All my physical connections are good I've plugged and played everything. Launched different steam games to double check if it's just The Isle. Its definitely just this game which limits it to certain things.

Have never heard of the sound being completely stopped in this game, and I've been around for a long time, not sure, very strange if it is the game only

Updating audio drivers in device manager might help, also if the audio hardware is on your motherboard which is very common, even a BIOS update may help (be careful with this)

Sound issues can get quite complicated to work out, but often have a straightforward fix that makes you want to smack your forehead

Good luck

Hi, I had the same problem, the sound worked everywhere except the Isle after the loading screen. In my case in the sound settings the sound format was set too high and the game doesn't seem to support it. All settings above 192000Hz stopped working, not depending on whether 16/24/32 bit.

32 bit / 192000hz works great
