Orkanoxon Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 When I played this gamelately with the Romans against two Gauls on the map "Alpine mountains", suddenly there was no more sound nor music. I play the re-release of Alpha 25 in German. (I also recorded my gameplay with Nvidia Geforce Experience / Nvidia share, whilst playing). I'm not sure why this happened, but it might be either that after a few minutes, the sound stops automatically or because I built several stockpiles within the range of my first town center. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 What OS are you on? Sometimes it bugs out on macOS powersaving probably. Did you plug or unplug earphones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orkanoxon Posted July 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) I have Windows 10 and I had plugged in my headphones and a microphone. My graphics card is a RTX 3070. I have my sound running over my graphics card and on a Realtek Audio driver. Edited July 4, 2022 by Orkanoxon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 If you haven't restarted the game yet, you might check if there are useful errors in the mainlog.html file. https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameDataPaths The game only checks for your soundcard at start. So if there is any change of configuration after that it might not pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orkanoxon Posted July 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 In the last line of that file it tells me 0 errors and 0 warnings. When I noticed the sound problem I tried to change the sound settings while being in-game, but that didn't help. If you want me to send you the file by e-mail, I can do so.

Stan` Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Yeah that means either it was overwritten or something else happened. 3 minutes ago, Orkanoxon said: When I noticed the sound problem I tried to change the sound settings while being in-game, but that didn't help. When the sound goes away, the only thing you can do is restart. Sound card detection and usage is done when the game starts. We don't analyze what's going on after. Switching sound cards, plugging headphones, or doing anything that might affect the soundcard might cause it to go mute. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orkanoxon Posted August 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Hi I think I could solve the problem. My computer may have changed the audio-ouput device to one that wasn't connected to headphones or a speaker. I could, at least temporarily solve it, using a USB-adapter for both, my headphones and my microphone, at once. I'm not 100% sure that this was the problem, but as long as it works ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that you can't change audio configuration while the game is running. It won't adjust so you'll lose sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
