I'm starting to think the "plop" might have been placebo.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and switched the audiooutput to another jackstick.

Still same problem. What do you mean by .1 channel?

your motherboard uses Realtek HD audio, if the driver package for it is installed you should also have the control panel. I would suggest that you visit your motherboard support page and download the driver package for it, and it's possible that this could be at the root of your issue. You could be operating your audio on generic windows drivers. That could be fine for most games, but occasionally you would come across a problem.

the .1 channel is dedicated to nothing by the lowest frequencies and it's normally piped to a dedicated subwoofer. If you have generic speakers that aren't capable of reproducing low frequency sounds, and they are only being fed the .1 chanel, you would hear almost nothing or very faint bass sounds.

But, you know, if that sound was actually placebo then just ignore that :)

Just as some generic troubleshooting:

you would wanna make sure you haven't got your output format set to something outside of the games compatibility.

Control Panel -> Sound -> highlight your playback device, and make sure it's set as default -> properties -> Advanced -> set to 16bit CD quality


While your in 'Control Panel -> Sound' you also should check the sound meters of the other playback devices to make sure that the sound isn't getting piped to the wrong playback device (There are meters to the right of each of the devices, also make sure the game is currently running and trying to play audio)

Apparently there is sounds coming from the game - but with my speakers cranked up, volume mixer cranked up and all sound levels in the game cranked up, i can only hear very faint sounds from the game. No music, only "plobs" when reaching objectives. The sounds are so low it might just be a placebo - this can't be right.

Cheers for the help Bilbo, but it unfortunately didnt solve my problem.

Yeah unfortunatly have tried the basics in trouble shooting but still seem to only be able to get sound via a headset, otherwise no sound at all.

Is it faint sounds you get through headset, or is it the full sound?
With no other options than my speakers, et seems like i'm SOL.

I have done all the basic things above and still no sound, besides there is just no input from the game in the volume mixer

Restarting didn't help anything either.

If your only hearing a "plob" kinda sound when placing things, it could be that the game is only giving your very lowest frequency sounds and sheering the rest off. Make sure that your not using any kind of sound virtualisation or enhancement in your audio software, and make certain that your equaliser is set to default.

So, let me just get this clear, you do see some sign of audio activity in the mixer right? Did you confirm that the activity is with the device your speakers are plugged in to?

And just to make sure - you don't have any kind of other speaker attached to your system do you? Your not hearing things coming from another speaker/headphones or your monitor with the volume turned almost all the way down? (This kind of thing is often audio piping to the wrong device).

I can only very faintly hear faint "plobs".

All my other audio devices in sound controlpanel is deactivated.
The sound from the game is so low, it doesn't even show in the mixer.

Every other game works fine - as far as i can see, there shouldn't be any virtualisation or enchancement in the audio (i'm using the mb drivers).

Are there any music in the game?

Truly im at a loss here.

There seems to be quite a few issues which players have been able to fix by verifying the game files on Steam, so you should try that and see if it helps this issue too.

What is the spec of your computer? Is it a laptop or desktop?

I have already tried verifying game files, but are doing it again as we speak. Its a ryzen 1700, 16gb ram, mzi tomahawk mb. So the computer shouldn't be the problem. Also seeing as no other game shows any issues!

well, virtualisation or enhancements that you have enabled in your sound control panel could easily be bugging out with the game. It's not necesarily anything that would happen in another game.

Do you have some kind of 'realtek' audio control panel in your taskbar? Next to the clock. That's where you can check your equaliser and enhancements. You will also want to check that you have the right speaker setup selected there - If you had your .1 channel being sent to your speakers it would sound exactly like what you are describing. Just make sure your speaker setup is set to stereo or headphones.
