    No sound playing on newly downloaded games


    I have a laptop recently purchased (Late November 2018) that was intended for playing games. It's an ASUSTeK Strix 17 GL703GE. I have downloaded and played many games without issues in terms of sound before, but within the last month have downloaded three new games, and two of the three don't have any sound at all. While these two games are running, I can open my browser and play sound through there, play music through Spotify, listen and chat in a voice chat through Discord, get system sounds, and get music, interface, and other various sounds through other games, but nothing will come out of either of the games. One game is through Steam and the other is on its own personal launcher. The third one is through Alderon Games, and that's the one that actually has sound.


    My system is completely updated, both games are up to date, restarted my laptop, I've done a troubleshoot, I've uninstalled and reinstalled both games, verified files, checked my audio manager and mixers, and everything is running just fine on there. I'm at my wits end, I have researched endlessly, and these games are frankly no fun to play without sound, or simply unplayable without sound, and for something I've spent money on that's not okay. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

  3. sound disapear after playing a game

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    You have mentioned that the sound is not working while playing games on your Windows 10 computer. I would like to ask some questions to get a clear picture of this issue.


    • What is the make and model of the computer?

    • Are you facing this issue with the online games or with the games that you have downloaded?

    • Does this happen with any other applications on the computer?
    Method 1: Run sound Troubleshooter if required.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/fix-sound-problems#v1h=tab03

    Method 2: If none is working then, please make sure all the pending Windows update are installed properly including all the latest driver. I suggest you to uninstall the sound driver through Device Manager
    and let system install the compatible driver.


    • Open run command by pressing Windows key + R and type “devmgmt.msc” (without quotes) and hit
      Enter.

    • Spot and expand the “Sound, video and game controllers”.

    • Right click on the High Definition Audio Device
      driver and select “Uninstall” then restart the system and let the system install the driver automatically on Start. Check and see if it resolves the issue.
    Let us know how it goes, we’ll be glad to assist you further.

    Regards.
