others work fine, i do not have surround sound, but there is no option to set that.

Have you tried verifying the integrity of the game cache files and resetting the sounds settings to default ingame?

For those struggling, I found another fix! This will probably not help anyone but it sorted it for me.

Recently I've been playing assassins creed unity which started to crash every 10 mins. The fix for this was to replace C:\Windows\System32\XAudio2_7.dll with the one in the UBI Game Launcher directory.

When I did this ACU worked! Little did I know, that it was causing the issue with FO4. Fortunately I kept a backup of the original, replaced it, and FO4 sound works!!

I'm guessing this only applies to those who did a similar fix before for another game, but it definitely solved it for me. So try an clean copy of XAudio2_7.dll (I can host mine if necessary).

In the Steam folder, typically Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 4.

Alternatively, right-click the game in your Steam library, select properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files, then go to the _CommonRedist folder in the game's install directory and run the DirectX and Microsoft Visual C++ installers in there.

what spock said.
