NO Audio on Windows 10
Hey,

I have the same problem as some people arround the internet, it seems. Running the game gave me no sound at all. After reading a lot about it, running on compatibility mode with windows vista sp2 allowed me sounds on the intro for the game alone; there's still no sound in-game or inside the menu.

Recently I had to use the fix for the first Bioshock audio issue: I had no sound and went on to enable Realtek HD Audio at the recording settings. It worked perfectly then and the function is still enabled. Made no difference for Bioshock Infitinite, even though some people used it as a fix for the game. Reverting it didn't help, either.

I also tried the plugging a microphone/headphones at the mic port. Nothing's changed.

I have absolutely no idea. Can anyone suggest something else? This is one of my favourite games, and I'm crazy to replay (first time was on XBOX 360, which I don't own anymore).

I'm using Windows 10, GTX 970, everything's updated.

Thank you.

I had the same problem on an ASSUS and plugged headphones into the headphone jack. You may, also, have to go in and adjust your sound settings in the PC.

Was this ever resolved for this person? I have the exact same issue. I have tried dealing with realtek, I have headphones, mic, updated drivers, NOTHING. I need help.

Other things to note, the game isn't running in full screen and when I select run as administrator, it seems Steam and the game have a conflict on who is suppose to run the game, and the game doesn't run at all. An absolute first for me.

I had to reinstall Windows a few months after I posted my issues here and that solved it. I never figured out the exact cause, though...

I'm having the same issue.

Should I reinstall my Windows then?

This game has a weird little problem where if you don't have an audio device plugged in, you get no sound. So you're trying to take sound through your HDMI to your TV I assume. Plug something into the sound jack in your PC and you'll be able to get sound through your TV.

There's another way that was fairly simple, but I can't remember how it works. You go into your audio settings and create an virtual audio device or something like that. I wish I could remember but the first one works for sure. It can be a USB headset or something too, just plug something in.

Edit, whoops sorry, I was talking about original Bioshock. I don't remember THIS game having an audio problem. When in doubt, disable your surround sound and set your PC's audio to Stereo ( 2 speakers ).

Open BioShock Infinite, then alt-tab it

right click on the speaker icon on the bottom right of your screen and choose "Open Sound Settings"

Scroll to the bottom of the settings page

Click "App volume and device preferences"

Change the output device for BioShock Infinite to the one you wish for it to use

Close both the settings and the game

Relaunch Bioshock Infinite and enjoy the sounds of murder
