Community ManagerAudio 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.
It worked! (GeForce Experience wouldn't let me do it, I had to download the driver package manually to do the clean reinstall.)
Many thanks for the assist. Cheers!

Community ManagerThat's great, thanks for coming back to let us know you got this fixed.
Well, sadly I have to say it didn't work for me. At all.
I reinstalled the drivers (cleanly), but the issue persists. Sound sometimes is OK throughout, but usually the game just launches muted, sometimes there is sound in the initial screens and menus, sometimes sound disappears during the game (this usually happens when I have to reload a save).
Of course system sound is not a problem, since it works perfectly in all other games and programs I have installed, even other games from EA like FIFA.
Is there any other trick I could try before I give up and go play something else?
Thanks for any advice.
If you have speakers (including headphones) that are NOT connected to your PC via an HDMI cable (like monitor ones), then the nVidia audio drivers may be the problem.
I constantly have to re-set my system using the Windows Control Panel to use my on-board sound card's native drivers instead of the nVidia ones every time I update my video driver. (Could nVidia puh-leeze make that a check-box option?!?)
So not being tech savy, if anyone could help by posting directions on how to install/reinstall NVidia sound drivers that would be awesome. Any attempt I have made to do so has made no difference. And EA has not followed through with their "Support". So, anything to help get sound back,would be greatly appreciated!
Hi bro please could you tell me exactly what you did I have tha same problem and nobody knows how to fix. Thanks
@XLXEAGLEXLX1234; Do you mean how to NOT use the nVidia sound driver, (which is what I need to do when I suddenly don't have any sound) or how to re-install it, (which is what @sifsaffire seems to asking about)?
Same issues, how do you di it manually?
