"Daily Game Chat Thread Thingy"

I'm sure we had one of these before, but as we've got nowhere else on the forums for general game chat, here it is....

You might still want to try the fix, as the exact same thing happened with Bioshock on MY PC (I have an AMD card instead, but Realtek HD Audio active same as you), and the fix worked for me on that occasion.

Thanks for that chas. As mentioned, I verified the install and nothing was found to be 'missing'. At present I'm waiting for a fresh download to install :¬(

The 'sound' advice could be a solution but I'm not using an HDMI connection. I can see Nvidia HD audio listed under Audio devices, but they are greyed out with the comment not plugged in. The only one with a 'tick' is the Realtek HD Audio and it's working prefectly. Played another Steam game last night and sound was perfect.

I'll see what this fresh install produces.

Played this, didn't have any issues with sound. Installed directly, sound worked just fine...

I assume you are just using onboard sound from your mother board (sound cards are a bit redundant these days), so this should be running with just the normal Windows sound codecs, which, quite honestly, I've not had any issues with. Also seems to work fine with the sound output from my graphics card (I tested this thoroughly!), so unless you are using some other sound output, there shouldn't be any difference between your setup and mine, Pretty much leaves this as an install issue.

Try verifying the local files in Steam first, as this seems to be a common one with a straight Steam Install; sound files often tend to get "missed" by the install process, something that Steam really ought to fix...

Failing that, uninstall and download again; an absolute pain, but often the best way to clear a random issue like this.

You could also try running as administrator, just in case you have some resources blocked.

Also, might be relevant to you (you use NVidia graphics I believe?) is this little fix for much the same problem in Bioshock and several other games. I actually tried this on my son's system for a couple of things, and it worked a treat.

Dishonored 2?

Loved the original and have just installed Dishonored 2.

Game starts no problem, but no audio? Not a good sign when the game relies on 'sound'!
Verified Steam install and no problems detected?
Strange ... as every game I have plays with sound!
Getting a tad fed up with this and there does seem to be a problem according to Google ... but does anyone know of a fix?

I'd love to know.

Been waiting for this...

Loved the start of the trailer, very unique.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus ... Nov'17 ... looking good :¬)

Well into my second run on Prey. I have found a ridiculous amount of stuff I missed the first time, including new ways into secret areas, new methods for bypassing security, new equipment caches, new crew members that I've managed to save this time...

Also managed to unlock a "Nightmare repellant"; the Nightmare is about as big and bad as you want to be facing, and it stalks you through the game. It can be killed, but it's a real struggle, so best avoided if at all possible (unless you have more ammo than you need...). My repellant has two uses, then it's gone...

This is so utterly, stupidly good fun!

Is it just me or isn't the 'soldier dialogue' in Dead Effect 2 exactly the same as that in the entire Fear series?

I think I spent longer downloading games from the preview trial than I did playing them. One to keep an eye on but I do like the idea and the price is decent too.
