No sound [SOLVED] - Sombs - 10-02-2023 Hello! It is me, the Sombs! A few days ago, after setting up a new Windows 10 Home 64bit install, I got seduced into installing Discovery Freelancer 24/7 Roleplay God Gaming again, but for some unknown reason, the game has no sound. So I am like because I never had this issue before. It is not that the game has no sound at all - music runs fine, ambience is fine. However, no dialogues and no sounds. Not only that, but the audio options for "Interface Sound" and "Ambient Sound" randomly get disabled after a few launches of the game. I was wondering whether anyone has lately run into the same issue. RE: No sound - Kauket - 10-02-2023 Do you have the DX9 libraries/redistributales? RE: No sound [SOLVED] - Sombs - 10-04-2023 The issue was a Windows 10 update not installing properly (22h2). For some reason, this affected only Freelancer and X3 Albion Prelude but no other games. It resulted in only 1 audio channel getting used, which meant in X3 it would only play the music and in Freelancer it would constantly fight between the system themes and NPCs exploding. It would also automatically default the sound options to 5.1 Surround and mess with Freelancer's audio settings, randomly turning off "Interface Sound" and "Ambient Sound". The solution was to re-download the Windows 10 installer and have it repair the installation without removing my files and apps. RE: No sound [SOLVED] - Laz - 10-04-2023 Both Freelancer and the X-Games use the DirectSound library, so likely something in there was going wrong. Given it's a system library on Windows, that checks out
