No Audio

[Mardek]

Yesterday, I tried to play, but found out the audio wasn't working. I then disabled all my mods but that didn't fix it. Today, I decided to reinstall the game, and still, no audio. Here is an image of what it is displaying. Please help, as I would like to stream this game somewhat soon. Thank you!

Has it ever worked with this game for you? Or never yet?

Is that all sound - music, ambients, sound effects?


Run the game up to the main game menu then alt-tab to the desktop. Right click on the speaker icon in th etask bar and go into Volume Mixer. Scroll across until you see the game and check it is not muted or at a low volume.

If that is not the problem DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach your Documents/Paradox/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox/CK3/logs/ folder, attach system.log , error.log

It has worked for me before. I will mention I did have a soundtrack mod, but I disabled that, long time ago. That is all the sound options it's giving me. I have checked to see if it is muted, but it is not muted. Here are the files you requested.

Definitely a problem in the Windows sound setup here:

[21:45:55][audio2_fmod.cpp:392]: PdxAudio2: couldn't load bank 'sound/banks/Ambience.bank' (Operation could not be performed because specified sound/DSP connection is not ready.)

Although not one I've seen before.

That dxdiag shows 15 different audio channels, using 5 different audio drivers ... I've never seen a setup like that before. I expected to see RealTek drivers but there are noe.

It seems this is your current sound output:

Description: Headphones (2- Arctis Pro Wireless Game)
Default Sound Playback: Yes

Does it make any difference if you use any of the others?

Found out the problem. In my sound settings, I had my output device set up to my monitor, yet strangely, for every other game I play, this was not an issue. I guess CK3 works differently then others. Anyway, thank you for your help.
