I have been messing around trying to figure out how to get the sound effects to work. Its the minor sound effects that I'm not hearing for example weapons firing, wind blowing, clicking, ect.


How do I fix this? Or is this a bug at the moment?

[kiki123]

Same problem here, if anybody finds out please report.

[JacksSmirkingRevenge]

Has anyone figured out how to get the sound effects to work? I'm still in the dark.

[bobek289]

It's a bug. So far, most of the people have atleast working soundeffects, but you seem to have the same problem as me where there are not even soundeffects played. Could you maybe post your hardware configuration, or do you have some external soundcard or something like that? I'm using such a device and I think it *may* have something to do with it. Just a shot in the blue though. :/

When you say hardware config, do you mean like a DirectX Diagnostics?

[Surf]

I was a bit ambigious, I rather meant your soundcard and (eventual) external sound devices or such. I have a TASCAM US-144 ( a recording device )and sometimes it causes games to act weird in terms of sound and music. That's why I thought you might have the same configuration.

I actually don't know what type of sound card I have. This might show it. I do get sound to play on the menu screen where the updates shown but other than that nothing. When I first logged on I had old 50's music playing in the background of NCR but that only happened that one time.

Sound info is in spoiler.

One question to the people who have the No Soundeffects/Music problem - what platform are you using, Win XP (what version of the service pack), Vista, Win7 etc? Would be good to know for troubleshooting...

[Dustin81]

Well before wipe I had music working but its not now (well some of the time). Music plays when I start up the client and while logging in, but in towns, silence. I'm using WinXP. I'm wondering if the client is looking for the sound/music files in somewhere they are not.

[bobek289]

Vista SP1 - no music, have sound

[Nucly]

Windows 7 64bit - no music, sound effects working

[zato1]

vista sp2 - sound, no music

[Gruik]

vista sp2 - sound, no music

Same here.

But 1 good thing : the music during long dialog (for Ranger perk) with the punk girl at Gas Staton worked, was very cool to hear it ! Does the game plays this one from the same place (FOnline/data/sound/music), or... where it is ? Maybe this could be an hint...
