I finally got it working properly. Under sound and output->speaker in device manager I changed the spatial sound from off to windows sonic for headphones and now it works.Thanks for the help.
Try to pause your antivirus software and see what happens. If that doesn't fix it, try a clean boot to see if other background software is interfering.
If none of that works, post a dxdiag file. It might have some clues.
Tried clean boot and still nothing.I did a dxdiag run maybe it can help.
The dxdiag show a few appcrashes for Dragon Age caused by something called fmodex.dll. I believe this is part of the audio system the game uses.
The internet is telling me a reinstall should fix it, but I think a repair should be enough. Is that something you already tried? In Origin you can repair a game by right clicking it in your library, then selecting the "repair game" option. In Steam this is called "verify integrity of game files" and is in the game's properties somewhere.
If that doesn't work, backup fmodex.dll somewhere safe, then delete it from the DAO installation folder (in the bin_ship subfolder), then repair the game so it's forced to redownload this file.
However, you said you tried the game in three different clients. Were those all separate installs? If so, that makes it a bit harder to figure out.
Indeed I have all 3 versions tried and I also saw the fmodex problem and tried different things such as replace removed and repaired.
The funny thing is I can run DAO on my old laptop win 7 and an old pc win7 with integrated graphics and I am baffled that the only game that I cant run on my brand new pc is dragon age origins.I seriously dont know anymore.
I managed to start it on gog by disabling all sound in the configure tool from launcher and i can open it with max settings but no sound.At least thats something.
