UNFORTUNATELY, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. FOR A MONTH I PLAY F4 WITHOUT A PIP OF SOUND. CHECK YOUR COMPUTER BIOS STATUS. GOOD LUCK.

You may have changed your Windows sound quality settings at some time.
Try this.

in the box, is it set higher than 16 bit DvD Qualty? If yes, set it to 16 bit DVD Quality.

If you set audio through HDMI, you should have speakers on your monitor and they should be on (default of monitors - off). Otherwise the audio card but there is only a problem if other games act the same, otherwise you muted the audio in FO4 from launcher.

neddy3135,i'm using the original audio card that came in my Dell inspiron so i don't know.here's the full story. i am using a Onkyo 4K upscaling home theater receiver. played Fo4 yesterday with no problems.i launched it today and 3 audio sounds are not working. dialogue, map markers and radio in pip-boy and doors opening and closing. all other audio is working fine with no issues with any other games or my receiver, and, as i said, my audio card is up to date and everything PEACE and Iron Knights have mentioned has always, and still is set properly.

I am using a 2.1 Stereo speaker set for the past 18+ years never a problem.
You have problems with your Onkyo and I've seen a lot of product returns from that brand (and repairs) at an electronics store. It is not the game's problem.

It might not be your equipment. Have you done the first thing one should always do which is to verify the integrity of your FO4 game files? Some game sounds working while others do not work implies a file problem to me.

If you still have problems after checking the game files via your Steam library option, then would be the time to start looking for other causes.

[flora.ex.deus]

i am definitely not having problems with my Onkyo and no other games i have are doing this either. i have verified the integrity of my files and all are good. its definitely an issue with the game as i see other people having audio issues as well. i have tried everything i know of and all the things people have suggested as well, except a re-install. about to give up!

[Iron Knights]

It's your Onkyo or your PC setup, you haven't given us any information on it. If you know it all why ask here ?

Been having audio issues myself of late. Sometimes the game will freeze for around 5 seconds. Once it gets going again the audio is out of sync. e.g fire a weapon and there's no sound. Same when jumping, no sound when I land and the jet pack is all out of sync.

I have all the official DLC installed and only 1 mod which is a textures mod. All drivers are up to date, game is fully updated and I have also verified the game cache files half a dozen times.
I'm inclined to think it's a Steam issue because I've started getting glitches in Skyrim and other Steam based games are giving me trouble.

OK, so here's a quick update.
Not sure if this connected to the issues but I just started the game and got a Windows Firewall alert. I made sure it was Steam and allowed access.
Just played the game for 2 hours solid without any issues.
