Tried every setting in the Sound options, exit game and sound comes back. Any ideas anyone? Used to work just fine prior to this patch.
Unmute.
Wasn’t muted but good call. I found a post via google that said to disable then enable the sound device in device manager and after I did that I had to reboot and then it works again. Note that I was IN the game when I did this also. Then toggled the sound output option. Not gonna touch anything now that it works again…sheesh…
Ran into this issue, too.
Just go to Sound options, disable sound, select your correct sound device (don’t use System Default) and re-enable sound and you’re good.
First time it ever happened, happened to my friend as well. Whatever patch they did it broke the game’s sound somehow. Easy fix, but it shouldn’t happen.
Same, had to do twice now. And the DC, oh my.
Also lost my black and white patch mount with this patch, they really fubar’d it this time…they have a post saying they are aware of the lost mounts and have no fix at this time.
/smh
I had that problem on xbox but not on PC.
Are you on xbox or console? If so seems like quick resume breaks sound. I have to manually close game from main xbox menu and restart game to get sound now.
I have problems hearing players within my screen…like when they attack i hear a very muffled sound.
This has been since day 1 launch
One thing to keep in mind as well, Windows has a sound setting that dims the audio during calls. This includes zoom, discord, facebook, etc. but Windows is dumb and doesn’t know what to turn it back to normal volume levels. Better to just turn it off.
Go on fiver and hire a cast to make the sounds as you are playing… take immersion to the next level! When you take damage… one of them can smack you in the back of the head!
I’m positive it’s something in the D4 code they changed in the last patch because I can launch D3 and it has perfect sound. Now I can’t get any sound to work at all no matter what I do in D4. Tired of rebooting and messing with Device Manager…guess I just don’t get to play dammit.
Wonder what is actually causing it. I’ve seen windows updates do things like this with certain programs before.
Only audio difference I’ve seen myself is not having that one quest giver by the world tier statue mouthing off “WANDERER!!! I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!!!” every single time I go through town.
just interact 1 time with him and that line no more.
My D4 reverted to default device in this patch as well, it must have been something to do with the patch. I didn’t have to reboot or anything to get it working, just switching back to the device I use fixed it, but it definitely reverted the setting back to default device for me.
Yeah I’ve tried all combinations of things to try to get sound to no avail. And due to their anti-cheating crap I’m not sure how far I can go to troubleshoot without running afoul of their warden code. I’d like to load up SysInternals tools to trace the registry and file system activity but if it detects that I’m running those it may ban my account. Sucks to just have to wait and hope they admit they broke something and fix it before I can play…as every day the Season gets closer to ending…
Did that and nothing. No sound. In the PTR server all is ok with the sound… any more ideas?
