No Audio on Steam games

[Zick Boy]

Hi,
The wierdest thing is happening. None of my Steam games have audio, NONE. Everything else on my computer has audio: internet browser, spotify, other games not from Steam, even videos from the Steam store. I started noticing this after the Windows 10 April 2018 update. I reinstalled the audio drivers but it didn't work. I reinstalled the Steam client and that didn't work. What I haven't done is restore my PC to the timeline before the April update but I wanted to check here first since it's only happening with Steam games.

My Rig:

• Intel Core i5 7500
  
• 16 GB RAM
  
• GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
  
• ASUS ROG STrix Z270H motherboard
  
• Realtek integrated HD audio

Thanks.

I have the same issue too. If u guys are using asus brand software, just close or turn Sonic Studio 3 off. It works for me for all the games

I can confirm as an Asus X470 Pro user, deleting Sonic Studio 3 fixed my issues. No sound was playing in ANY steam game previous to me doing this. Started tonight for no reason.

Can also confirm this, I deleted both Sonic Studio 3 and Sonic Radar 3 and my game audio started working on the next load up.

Confirmed, had to delete both in order to fix audio problems. Thank you all for the suggestion!

Hey guys, soo thankful for the internet and for whoever had the idea to delete Sonic studio 3.
I have an Asus STRIX RoG laptop and I too woke up this morning to absolutely no sound in csgo, rocket league, LoL, Fallout 3, everything I tried. Deleted sonic studio & radar, and I can confirm that this fixed the issue for me, How bizarre, it must've updated itself overnight (Gotta love windows 10) and I came back to just add my confirmation to this thread.

I have laptop MSI. I deleted similar program for this producent - Nahimic and it resolved problem. I have sound now. Probably problem is with sound managers.

@[H3xaMinE] thx for suggestion.

For anyone still interested in this, I had problems with six or seven games, no sound at all. I tried all the fixes proposed in all sorts of places. This fixed it for me, though: reset Windows (it does a re-install, but the setting is to 'reset'). It doesn't mess with your files but you have to reinstall apps and your games. Fixed everything. Hope this helps someone because I was losing it with this.

Hi, I'm having the same problem but haven't had Sonic Studio or anything like it installed lately. I'm not getting sound on Dragon Quest XI or Dark Souls 3, but I'm getting sound on Dead Rising and Death Road 2 Canada. Does anyone have any suggestions other than doing a reset on my OS?

EDIT: Never mind. It turns out it was Nahimic after all. I'm guessing since it tries to emulate surround sound it pushed the sound in a direction that was incompatible.

Hey y'all!
Ran into this same issue when setting up a recently system restored Alienware. After reading everyone's comments, I tried closing the "Alienware Command Center" bloat and that completely fixed the problem.

I suspect it sets up some audio profile (there's a whole segment of the app dedicated to exactly that) and then glitches, at some point. Happy hunting otherwise, and Merry Christmas!

Confirmed on an X370 board with the same issue, thanks so much!

Didn't read everything so I don't know if the issue is fixed or not but not being able to hear game audio happened to me when I downloaded a soundboard and it messed with my audio settings.

All I did is move my steam game files to a different folder then I reinstalled steam then put back the game files and relaunched steam hopefully this works for you.

You are a life saver! Thank you very much. I don't get how Sonic Studio ninja'd the sound, but what the hey.

I was having audio problems in Deceit (no sound in game), and I'm scrambling through every forums but no luck. As I stumbled upon this thread, I uninstalled Sonic Studio 3, and lo and behold... Deceit finally has sounds!

Dude, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing the fix! You're a legend, my guy.

EDIT: Using an ASUS ROG laptop, can confirm this fix. OP, please mark the user's comment as the solution.
