Tried this, didn't work. the only audio device hooked up to my computer is my headset. and I've checked to make sure it wasn't a windows issue.
I know this is a long dead thread but this issue is still a problem.
I'm still having this issue. It shouldn't be one. Take your franchises and development seriously. It's not too late to patch, unless late turns into never.
This is beyond embarrassing, especially for a giga-corp like EA.
Wow thanks so much. I put the EA app into offline mode and like magic the volume would actually save my changes in the volume mixer. Never seen a game do that before, not even Dead Space 2 which I also played through the EA app. I wonder how a launching application can do that?
Bump. Going offline works. This issue is cringe. How in the world can you have code so spaghettified that I have to disable my app's NETWORK, when I often want to play with friends, in order fix one of the most fundamental mechanics of any application to ever exist.
Only EA would manage to stab a hook into the kidney of a fundamental function like AUDIO and latch it to their featureless app with their online-only towhook pulley. Good lord.
August 2024 and still the only fix is setting the ea app to offline mode and then booting the game. Can't believe I have to do this in order for nfs most wanted 2012 to not nuke me ears.
