This isn't something that occurs 100% of the time I'm logging into DCUO, but it's well over half the times I log on. I have a complete lack of sound or there's certain sounds that just don't work. For instance. I loaded up DCUO and the menu sounds were working just fine, but my attack animations had absolutely no sound. And vis-versa*[However you spell that] That's the least of it. Here recently the entire game has been muted when I log in. I have to reboot the computer after I try restarting the game a few times, and even then, it only works on some occasions. I've tried the sound settings, the in-game sound settings, and the thing is; DCUO doesn't even show up on the Volume Mixer. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a common fix? And I swear to god, if a Mod/Admin tells me it's my computer, I'm going to throw a fit. It's not the computer, everything else has sound on the computer when I run DCUO. Teamspeak, Windows Media Player, YouTube, etc. It's only DCUO.
It usually happens to me on the PS3. To fix it I got to the section where the headlines are and play one of the clips. I don't let the clip finish however, I skip it and then the sound returns. It only works for a while tho, so I restart the game if it happens again.
Well, I play on the PC and I'm trying to get online for the day and when I'm not getting crashes and C++ Runtime errors, I'm having absolutely no sound. This is beyond frustrating!
