Titanfall 2 "Couldnt initialize sound" error

Every time I start Titanfall 2 it says: "Couldnt initialize sound"

titanfall 2 error

Anyone else getting this? Please help!

  • I've found another "fix"... it might not work for everyone, but I found doing the following got things working:

    1) Open Origin

    2) Open Spotify (!)

    3) Play something (only needs to be for a split second)

    4) Leave Spotify open and launch the game

    No idea why it works, but it does!

    Yup - I'm getting this too.

  • I'm getting it to, using a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2. No problems with any other games. Works when I change to a different audio device (onboard audio or monitor speakers) though.

    @thesonglessbird That's certainly interesting. I'd guess running Spotify is giving focus to an alternate audio adapter, which Titanfall is then picking up on as it launches.
