No sound in game!

[Silver_Rayne]

I get all the intro sounds but nothing beyond video sequences.

[ARTIZZLE]

me too no sounds AT ALL

[Dicehunter]

Did you by chance ever figure this out ?
I just went to play ACM and there is no sound either, All drivers and Windows up to date.

[Silver_Rayne]

Nope, still dead. gave up on it tbh

tried verifying cache integrity? Check the computer's sound volume mixer and see if ACM shows up on the list, it may be automatically muting itself

I've verified cache around 5 times now, I've even deleted it and re-downloaded it, Checked volume levels, Tried switching Hz and bit rates.

Even tried downloading it onto 3 different computers, 2 running Windows 8.1 and the other running 7.

I'm completely stumped TBH, this is the only game out of the 400+ in my library that has problems.

.......are there any programs running in the background...? Maybe it's conflicting with something?

Nope.

As I said I've tried on 3 different computers, All 3 run games like Crysis 3, Battlefield 4, GTAV, AC: Unity brilliantly, It's only this game that has a problem.

This just lately happened to me as well, but I somehow got it working.

I figured it out, I may have had an extremely blonde moment.

I was benchmarking my new graphics card a few days ago using Alien Isolation and if you go to "Launch Properties" you input "-benchmark" and it launches the benchmark instead of the game.

Well I accidentally put it into the launch options somehow of Aliens:Colonial Marines and as A:CM doesn't have a benchmark mode it muted the sound and somehow carried over my error to the other computers, Options like this must be account linked.

Anyway I cleared the "Launch Properties" field and now I have full sound :)

Right click on the game in your game list and click on properties, Go to "launch options" and make sure it's blank.

Anybody figured out? I have no benchmark on launch options. I have no sound at menu or in game. All drivers up to date!

[jpluis]

Me 2.

I have sound on splash screens (Sega, Timegate, Nvidia), but once I reach the "Press Any Key To Begin", there is no more sound. This started to happening +/- 1 or 2 years ago.

(With some luck, my PC has dual-boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 22, and I managed install and play with sound on Steam + Ubuntu, But the Windows 10 version has become "dead silent", even after using the Steam file integrity check feature).
