Solved

No audio

Tried all solutions already in the forums and now at a complete loss.

  • Windows 11
  • no mods installed
  • audio works for all other apps
  • audio driver is updated
  • speaker application control and exclusive priority are checked
  • EA app and Sims 4 are updated
  • all volume settings are 100 in game
  • tried EA app repair feature
  • EA app advanced launch options is cleared
  • tried deleting Config and Options game files
  • full reinstall of Sims 4
  • restarted PC on each of the above

additional info:

  • USB audio interface for output (Sims 4 has worked with it previously)
  • Sims 4 or EA App do not appear in the Windows volume mixer
  • Windows Spatial sound option is greyed out
  • LordHelmet777  Does this happen with a different sound output device that uses a different connection, for example built-in speakers or earbuds with a jack?

    Please also provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

    It's working after switching to integrated audio out. Of course, the one solution I hadn't tried. Guess S4 doesn't play nice with the USB audio interface. Thanks puzzlezaddict! 😊
