Dude thank you so much. Was struggling for a while and got really frustrated, restarted PC, did all this stuff with settings and properties, FINALLY got the solution. What worked for me was switching the audio output from default to my headphones in the Adv. sound settings. TYSM saved me from rage lol

its like PC gaming WANTS me to go back to consoles. if I have to make it work then the people I bought it from, didn't. why is it being sold at all if I have to work to make it work? instead of a thank you and a paycheck for my efforts I get to spend 69 dollars? I dont think so. none of this helped btw wasteland 3 pc on steam...no sound...ever....no matter what....only that game and fallout 76 :/

[@ImPatrickStarl]

Downloaded snowrunner just now and literally no sound.

[@t0ddynh_]

If you have no idea on how computers work just stay with your consoles dude, it is not and will never be easy to use them. And don't be a baby just because you never had to lift a finger to get something working.

[@yonelisrodriguez7959]

My issue was being able to listen to KZbin videos but not my game sound. The verifying the integrity of my files fixed my issue. Thank you.

[@enej881]

I fixed it by going into Advanced Sound Options and selecting, for Steam, Speakers (Realtek(R) Audio) as output. But more importantly the issue seems to be connected to another setting which you can easily miss. After you set the Output, go to Sound Control Panel and select your speakers or sound device that you use. Then click Properties, go to to Advanced tab, and uncheck "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device". It seems some games take exclusive control of the sound device and won't let SteamLink stream it to a TV, Other PC, Steam Link Hardware etc. So to recap: 1#: GO to Advanced Sound Options and select the output device for Steam - don't leave it on default - on most computers it's a Realtek Audio sound card, but on yours's it could be another like Creative, Intel etc. 2# Go to Sound Control Panel and select your main sound device, click properties, go to Advanced Tab, and uncheck Allow applications to take exclusive control on this device Now it should be fixed :)

[@75Krusty]

Were getting annoyed today with no sound in some games in Steam. But I found the problem. It were not HD problems, or games that need to be verified. But I have a DAC connected to my computer. And some games in Steam can't handle sound quality above 192 khz if you have a DAC or high-end soundcard. The 192 khz setting is fine, but the last ones on 352800 hz, and 384000 hz, no sound comes out when playing most games in Steam. Thanks from Krusty in Denmark

THIS IS WHAT FIXED MY ISSUE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@moosainayat8005]

THIS IS AMAZING! I STRUGGLED FOR 30 MINUTES UNTIL I CAME ACROSS THIS liked and subscribed, it is simple and works fantastic :)

[@HotSilving]

Man you’re the best, I was so stressed out as I pressed something and the sound went out

[@dirtbox222]

quick note! some source games like tf2 may have no sound because you are using the wrong speaker! if you have headphones adjust it, same with PC speakers too

[@B1407mmm]

Wgat do you mean adjust it?

[@piesoup]

For someone who tried everything and still not work. Go to your steam setting> Remote play> Advance Host option> tick on play audio on host. That fix it for me.

[@Flip012]

Great channel, you helped me with many problems by now

[@GuiGuiPizzas]

Thanks dude, was really frustrated with that since I already had some other problems earlier, your video was a treasure for me

[@techow]

Glad I could help

[@Ayso]

that moment when you can't hear the video

[@CM-fp2gz]

Another recommendation is to remove any USB hub that you're connecting to. Test connecting directly to pc. If it works there, then work your way up until you find the culprit. Most likely the hub or monitor USB port.

[@timo3335]

great video but it still not works for me :( only two games have no sound and i really dont know why

[@smartcardnine]

Thank you so much my GTA was fine and then all of a sudden there’s no sound thanks to you my sound is back I subscribed and followed

[@miooo1429]

I have a problem where I hear sound in the lobby in games. but when I'm ingame all the apps' audio (including discord) stops- does anyone have a solution? (the game is crab game) btw good tutorial but it didn't work for me :(

[@katy.h1921]

Same! It works up until I get in game

[@aydensamujh9178]

Thank you for the video dude. Tried googling my issue and your video was the only instant fix for me.

[@techow]

Glad to hear it

[@Lonewolf-ei5yv]

If nothing works activate GPU scaling in the graphics card control panel. Works if you pass sound with HDMI, at least in kotor 1&2. Make sure to set sound quality to 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD quality) in windows sound setup.

[@horrorhouse16]

i have another fix for you guys: whenever i turned on the stream, my audio device would change on my host pc to "steam streaming speakers"this caused my stream to not have any sound. You have to go to your host pc and turn this audio device off so i cant turn it self on as main audio device.

[@h.w.1579]

'Device manager' find the 'sound game controller' select your sound driver right click on it and select ''update driver'' then 'browse my computer for update driver' then 'let me pick from a list' pick the one that is your sound card and then reboot.

[@BUM_FLUFF]

when is sound settings i have no input device i used to idk what happened nothing is there the box is empty and i cant choose anything

[@MP-vf8qz]

Wow, first time I played on a big flat screen.

[@kamek2799]

well I thought that none of the solutions worked, then I launched my game and it started working again for some reason, thank you I guess

[@vooch]

Also check the Sound Mixer! I forgot I turned my game's sound to 0 yesterday. That's how I fixed my problem.

[@omarmejia146]

None of this worked for me. Is there any other methods? Also when i verify integrity files it says “2 files failed to validate and will be reaquired” Don’t know if that means anything

[@helenkruuse3407]

After swapping my mainboard and cpu and cpu fan but keeping everything else even my installed windows on ssd. The only solution for me was the app volume and device preferences. I had EarTrumpet installed but that never showed up any steam games. So this video saved me from reinstalling windows. No other website mentioned this feature.

[@fsfs2833]

fix! Right click on sound -> Spatial sound(Windows Sonic for Headphones) -> Windows Sonic for HeadPhones (enable)

[@coltonm211]

For me, the problem isnt with games, its when I open the steam app or when I am opening a game that is installed on steam, it just mutes my audio and as soon as I click onto something that isnt steam it unmutes, and if I click back into steam and click the screen it mutes again. IDK what wrong because theres not a single video on my problem. Its happens only with steam :/

[@saiyanwarrior15]

Guys before you do all of this and it feels like your head is going to explode, try doing this first: Go into advanced sound options in the settings tab > Start Black Ops 3 or whatever game you are having issues with > once black ops 3 appears in the settings tab, add one of the devices you can use, click on what headset you are using at that moment. > Voila! problem solved. hope this helps you all and don't have to go through thee headache like I had to.

If you're playing on Xbox One and you don't have any sound then disconnect your Xbox power cord and plug it back in. That's the only thing that fixed it for me.

[@ZIMsar10]

I only have sound issues with Fallout 76, (PC) that is why I watched this video, hoping for something that would fix my issue, but sadly this video offered nothing new compared to the others. You mention near the end of your video "Then your hardware might be faulty" but you failed to mention, that in some cases, the Software is the problem, as it is with Fallout 76. KZbin Videos work fine (therefore it's not a hardware issue), so do other games on Steam, it's just Fallout 76 that doesn't & I have recently (in the last 5 days) done a reinstall of Windows & also all my Steam Games. The really weird thing, is that the sound works for Fallout 76 at the very beginning during the Cinematic Mode/Introduction, however there is no in-game sound, not even at the Atomic Store, I have checked the settings & everything is set to default, other than changing Voice Chat to Team, which someone else suggested, but it made no difference for me.

It happened to me after using steamlink on my phone, the sound was playing fine through my phone while connected, but after i disconnected everything and reloaded the game, the sound completely disappeared. I reloaded again but still nothing, I'm trying to avoid uninstalling and reinstalling because I'll have to reapply all my mods and that'd take ages since i have 140+ mods.
