More and more often one wants to equate modern games, if not to art in full, then to cinema - for sure. A well-developed plot, detailing of interiors, realistic graphics and soundtrack sometimes add up to just an amazing result. However, if there is a malfunction in at least one of the components (for example, sound), and the whole atmosphere is destroyed.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure there is no problem with the system. If the sound is not played not only in the game, but also in Windows, then install the necessary software. First of all, all the audio drivers that came with your sound card on a separate DVD (if there was no disc, download the one you need from the Internet). In case the sound plays, but media files do not open, install the K-lite Codec Pack. It will solve all compatibility problems with most of the file formats.
Step 2
Open the game disc. It usually stores not only the necessary files, but also redistributives: a set of programs for the correct operation of the game. Make sure you have installed all of them. Even if it seems to you that you have such a version of software (for example, DirectX), it will not be superfluous to run the installer, it will check itself if this product is already installed.
Step 3
Check the system requirements. It often happens that a modern sound card is incompatible with an outdated game. This problem can be solved by installing the latest updates and patches. Refer to the technical support forum, for sure the program you need has already been developed.
Step 4
Install the licensed version of the game. Today on the Internet you can find a huge number of "repacks" for various projects, from which "additional materials" have been removed. In practice, the user gets a game with cut screensavers, and often damaged sound files. You can solve the problem by downloading the full version of the product.
Step 5
Several playback devices (for example, headphones and speakers) can be connected to your PC at the same time. The settings set in Windows (speakers - main speaker) may not be recognized by the game, and the sound will be mistakenly transmitted to another output.
Step 6
Check your in-game audio settings. If you are launching the product for the first time, then there is a possibility that for some reason the minimum possible values are set in the "Options" -> "Sound" menu.
