Audio via HDMI is provided by the audio component of the nvidia drivers package. You could try running the nvidia installer again and choose custom install and then clean install making sure the audio component is selected. Let us know how you get on.
Hi,
I also have no sound in DA. I do have sound in other games or activities on the PC.
It's far from the first time it happens in this game but the bug has never been so persistent. Also, this time (and for the first time), there was a really weird loud sound before the sound disappeared. It sounded a little like the really sharp feedback sound of a microphone? I have restarted the game, then failing that, the PC. Both these solutions had helped on some previous occasions. I have also saved a back-up then deleted my profile and other files in the Bioware folder, as suggested here. I have checked my sound settings but I seem to only have the Realtek Audio system so I don't see how the game could get confused. I have had Windows reinstall the Realtek sound device. Still no success
Any other suggestion that could be implemented easily by someone who knows very little about IT?
Thanks for your help.
This happen in online game mode or solo campaign??? Dont forget in game option set the game in STEREO mode not in 5.1, maybe game try in 5.1 and your headphone are like a subwofer or something..
Hi,
I never play in multiplayer and I only have one sound driver recognised by my PC, the standard Realtek one which is one I could not see how this could be caused by competing sound drivers.
I've had sound problems with DA many times before, but they were always solved by basic steps such as restarting the game or at worse, the computer.
Also, this really weird sound that happened first.
I found it particularly puzzling. At first, I thought my earplugs set was simply dying on me, that there was a bad connection in the jack but the earplugs are still working fine for everything else. And there is still no sound in DA, with or without earplugs, and whichever the DA sound setting I choose. It's really frustrating.
Ended up playing for two hours without the sound and with subtitles for the dialogue yesterday. But losing ALL the sound is not only taking away from the magic of the game, it's also making it very tricky when you're trying to find the hidden goodies, those that won't show as a dot on the little side map of your surroundings when you press the search key.
Not sure if I'm explaining very clearly. Sorry!
EDIT: alright, after playing a day with just the subtitles, I decided to go one step further and uninstalled DAI from my PC. Waited a couple of hours while it reinstalled. Tried again. Still no sound... :-(
Thanks for the help
Make sure this window setting is like mine (the picture attached), i remember some problem of sond messing this setting in some game. ALSO dont forget inside the game option (inside game) there are choice between 5.1 and stereo make sure its STEREO, otherwise the voice of character gonna be very very low and its can bug. So fix this 2 setting and you going to be good i think
i had same issue. I clicked on the "speaker" on my windows, changed the "spatial sound off" to "windows sonic for headphones" and sound came back on
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so freaking much. I was in tears because I couldn't get the game to work and by some random chance I saw your comment and thought "why not!?" and IT.WORKED. thank you SO MUCH!!!!
I found a solution that nobody else has mentioned and none of the other solutions have worked for me, so maybe it will work for you.
I installed the dot net SDK 6 & 8, as well as the two VC redistribution for both x86 and x64. I've previously only ever installed the x64 for versions and a different audio issue had me install an x86 version, so I tried all of them and tried DA:I again, and this is the only way I've been able to get it to work in years and over multiple clean Windows re-installs.
You can find dot net and VC redistribution from Windows.
