Welcome to the forums!

You may have better luck asking in the Tech Support channel. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/hearts-of-iron-iv-tech-support.952/

Without more information, it is hard to know where to start. If you are using Windows 10, have you checked your Sound Control Panel to make sure the sound is not coming out of an unexpected place?

In game, there is a volume for voices. Open the game menu by hitting the escape key, click on Game Options, then click on Audio. You will see a slider for voice.

If you are using mods, you may want to try without any mods running.

Is it all sounds, or just music. You probably already know this, but music can be turned off by clicking on the music symbol in the top right of the game screen. This opens up the music player and can be turned on and off.

If you are only having sound issues with HOI4 sound and other games run fine you will most likely be asked to uninstall HOI4, reinstall, and run the game with no mods.

I just found that not every country has voices in the game and even then only some countries came with certain DLC. Below is a post from the past that explains that with DoD, you get Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Hungary. I recommend you open a game playing one of those three nations and see if you have voices.


The base game doesn't feature any voice-overs AFAIK. TfV features "Voice over sound for infantry units in: German, French, Italian, British english, American english, Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish languages". DoD features "Voice over sounds for infantry units in Czechoslovakia, Romania and Hungary". The free Poland DLC was recently updated to include Polish voice-overs IIRC. The Polish voice-overs are part of the (free) Anniversary Pack DLC.

Since you don't seem to have TfV I'd recommend you to test it again with the Czechoslovakia, Romania, Hungary or Poland.

ok, I'll try to start the game with one of those DLC nations ... I could already start the game with Romania and I had a voice, I imagine that to have the Spanish and German dubbing I must buy the other DLC
