Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012 Absolutely No Sound
So I was playing NFS MW 2012 last week from when this was posted without any problems. I go to launch it now, I get no sound at all. There is no audio at the start sequence, from the cars, or any music. When I launch the game, it doesn't even come up in the volume mixer in Windows. Every other program I use is fine.
What I have done to try and fix the problem:
Restart Windows
Update Windows
Update graphics/audio drivers
Uninstall and reinstall the game including deleting all the files (through Steam)
Setting the Windows compatibility to Windows 7
Running NFS MW as administrator
Any help would be much appreciated!

To check if you plug your headset directly into your PC do you hear game audio?
Also to check have you tried the following?
- Repair/Verify your game based on which client you are launching from
- EA App - Repair (Library > Tile Dots > Repair)
- EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
- Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
- Close other running applications on your device
- Run the System File Checker tool then Check for Windows and GPU updates
- Install or Repair the VC++ files for your game (Origin or EA app)
- Check Drivers, Default to High-Performance GPU: Troubleshooting Graphics issues
- Restart your device in Clean Boot mode, then just try running the client and game
Thanks!
