outlawal2 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Ok so I did a fresh install of Windows 10 and all seems ok.. Sound works fine.. But when I tried to run DCS from my secondary drive it asked for 900 activations (well it seemed like 900 of them.. One for every module I won.) Then it went into thew module and the Black Shark is running and the graphics look fine, but no sound.. Clearly I need to download something for sound like I had to do for Visual basic 2012 but no idea what I need. Any ideas? "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence."

jjohnson241 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Well I'll try to help you but info is sketchy. Let's start at the beginning. You're running DCS, do you have sound at the opening splash screen? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 3rd Mar Div RVN '66-'67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimmerdylan Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Yeah....Windows 10 seem a little buggy at this point. It keeps making me activate my antivirus software every time my computer boots up. Also some other software too. As far as sound......I know that it took some time to update all the drivers for my hardware also. Had to go up a few times to update my video drivers. Maybe updating your sound card driver might help. My Nvidia card ran my rig just fine but would bomb on DCS until I finally got it updated.

jjohnson241 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Let's not go crazy yet with drivers, etc. He said he had system sounds and did not mention a sound card. I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 and had no issues. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 3rd Mar Div RVN '66-'67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're running DCS, do you have sound at the opening splash screen? Nope as stated, sound works fine in Windows by itself and with other apps, but NOTHING at all anywhere within DCS.. And remember that mine is a FRESH install of Windows using an existing install of DCS... "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence."

SkateZilla Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 FWIW, I have no sound in mine right now, I suspect its a driver issue, as the volume panel shows sound in the audio mixer, just not hearing it. Likely a device mapping issue, prolly toy with it tonight. as I went to stream Xbox One and couldnt get sound in my headphones, But when I turned on my SoundBar the audio was coming through that instead (one uses 3.5mm the sounf bar uses optical spdif).

outlawal2 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks to everyone for the VERY quick responses! Looks like BIGNEWY gets the attaboy as his suggestion of loading DirectX again was the ticket! So Skate, reload DirectX and you should be good to go. As an FYI, the other suggested reloads for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package x86 and x64 do not work with Windows 10 as apparently WIN10 comes with newer versions already.. . Thanks folks. THAT was quick! "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fri13 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Even when you now have sound, the previous win10 version before final had bug that it used a 24bit sound mode instead 16bit and it caused no sound to be heard. So going volume config and changing it lower resolved the problem. Since then update should have made it default. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

SkateZilla Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 This too^^ For some games, Win10 was outputting over HDMI to my monitor instead of 3.5 Jacks or Optical SPDIF.

sslechta Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Sound died on my Win 8.1 install. I reinstalled DirectX per BigNewy's recommendation too and got sound back. Thanks!!
