Bioshock and No sound? WTF?

Bioshock 1 Sound Problem Fix in Windows 7

To fix the sound problem in Bioshock 1 under Windows 7, all you need to do is to ENABLE "Stereo Mix" in the Sound

Settings of Windows 7.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Access your system Sound Recording Settings
In your status bar, right-click on the sound/speaker and select "Recording devices".
OR
(Alternatively, access the setting by click on Windows "Start Menu" > "Control Panel" > "Hardware and Sound" > click on link "Manage audio devices" under section "Sound" > click on the tab named "Recording" )





2. Enable Stereo Mix (see screenshot)
Right click in the list of "recording device" where you should see "Microphone", "Line in", maybe "CD Audio".
In the context menu, Tick the line called "Show Disabled Devices".
Now you should seed "Stereo Mix" as a new Device.
Right click on Stereo Mix and click on the first option of the context menu "Enable".

3. Disable Microphone, LineIn, CD*Audio
There was an echo / reverb effect going on in the game which wasn't related to the in-game Reverb setting (OFF). I think the windows recording settings where creating feedback loop, so I disabled Microphone, LineIn and CD Audio and voilà! Problem was gone.


This is it, Bioshock should work.
You can also take the time to review the options in "Stereo Mix Properties", for example I set Default Format to

2 channel, 16bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality) in the advanced tab, just enforce quality.

Description of the Problem:

• Once a game is loaded, there is no sound at all in Bioshock 1.
• When I start Bioshock 1 under Windows 7, I can ear the background music in the main game menu, but there's no "on click" sound effect when clicking on the menu entries. That's a sign that the sound will not work after loading a game, not point wasting further time.

Summary of things that didn't work for me:

• Using compatibility mode ( 2000, XP SP2 or SP3) does not work ( game freezes at menu)
• Installing Rapture3D drivers doesn't change anything
• Reinstalling latest sound drivers or using Win7 native drivers is not necessary
• Pluging-in earphones or microphone into the linein/mike inputs didn't work for me

Hope this post will save you time to enjoy the game.

No Line Input Option for Recording Devices

Hi,

i went to record something yestersay through the line input jack on my Toshiba Qosmio X75-A7195 Laptop only to end up realizing the only recording device available is now the microphone. I've tried uninstalling the latest device driver for the Conexant Smart
Audio HD (v.8.66.43.53) more than once, including just deleting it, rebooting, and letting the computer install something, and I've run the troubleshooter. Nothing I've tried has restored the Line Input from the jack on the side of my laptop as a recording
option. It DID use to exist!

I thought maybe this happened as a result of my completely reinstalling Windows 10, (Home, v.10.0.16299 Build 16299) and everything on the main drive, but when I checked another laptop of mine, a Fujitsu LifeBook AH530, the Line Input option was gone there,
too. The only option on the Fujitsu was also the microphone, just like on the Toshiba.

Both laptops are 64-bit and running Windows 10, but i have not made any 'system' changes to the Fujitsu. This being the case, I'm left thinking that this is a Windows 10 version/build issue. Whatever the case may be, PLEASE HELP restore the Line Input
recording option AND ALSO the mixed recording option, or whatever it is that would allow me to hear through the headphone jack what is being played/recorded or input through the line input jack.

Thanks so much in advance.
