No Sound while playing games.

Hi Marbea,

For us to further isolate the issue, please clarify the following:

• What is the make and model of your device?
• Did you receive any error messages?
• Are you experiencing the issue when playing games only?
• Is the issue the same when playing a different game? What game are you trying to play?

Meanwhile, you can check and try performing the troubleshooting steps provided in this

article. Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

 

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.

 

Sound not playing out of headphones for specific steam games only

I have Razer Man O' War headphones that work fine for literally everything except a select few steam games (e.g. Hollow Knight, Cuphead, Getting Over It, Ori and the Blind Forest). I can listen to music, watch Youtube videos, play other games, everything works, but for some reason when I try to play these games the sound doesn't play through my headphones. I can switch to my computer's speakers and the sound plays, if I plug in earphones into the earphone slot the sound plays (I think this works because it just replaces the computer speakers directly, and I don't even have to change output device for earbuds), but with my headphones, no sound whatsoever. Other steam games play sound (for example, PUBG, Stardew Valley, and Papers, Please all work fine), and I can't see why only a few of my games have this problem. I could just buy some earphones, but I'd rather fix this problem if possible. I'm on Windows 10.0.16299.
