Lost sounds (only on ET)

[RendeL]

So title says it all, no sounds on ET all the sudden. On all mods, tried that too.

I have not changed anything in my cfg, nor any updates on pc and all sounds work on YT, discord etc. Sound system is set ok and working, just on et it is really silent...

Checked cfg and tried /snd_restart, no help.

 

Using win11. PC is up-to-date.

 

Before I try reinstall, if anyone has tips what to try?

Hey mate. 

Have u recently updated your Windows?

I would try to update DirectX end-user Runtime.

Hmm, i would try with pk3 cleaner.

When this does not help, just reinstall.

This is a really stupid question but you have checked your effects volume in the options menu, right? When you say no sound it's both intro music and effects?  Wanna post your cfg for a quick nerd check?

Helped Rendel on discord, turn out his game was missing in the sound mixer.

 

Solution was to open the client and go options -> systems and look what the sound system is. It was custom, needed to switch it to SDL2 or OpenAL.

 

Fix can be done in config too. Just switch "s_initsound" to "s_initsound 1" and it should fix the problem

Yeah thx all for help, but @Tukkonen nerded this home 😄

 

I've had s_initsound "0" for month or more, then decided to join ETL, went back to silent the next day and sounds gone.

 

Well there is the solution. The s_initsound "1" is default and there is option for "2"

I use 2.6b and cannot find that cvar in the etconfigs in etmain, Jaymod or Silent.

 

If I start ET to just etmain and enter that cvar in the console, it does return  s_initsound "1" default : "1" .  That might imply that you won't find it in your etconfigs unless it has been changed at some time in the past.  

 

 

@TRU BLOOD This might have been the answer to your "no sound" problem in 2019!  😮 You had a complex situation going on then.

I only found that topic because when I searched the forums for "s_initsound" only that topic (with my s_ cvar chart) was returned!  It did not list this topic!   I tried it again later and received many results.  😄 

 

 I did that search-test again and got mixed results.  A few times, It only found topics with that search-term that I had replied in.

I tried the change and still not working. My default does say "0", but when I change it to "1" on a restart it defaults back to "0". I'm still using the old method of /snd_restart for now or at least until I move to W-11. I appreciate your help!

Did you do it in console, with /seta, or did you edit your etconfig file?  "/set" might just work for that ET session and not be saved for the future, or across the mods.

 

ET does not like us to edit you etconfig files, but I usually save copies of it first, with names like "etconfig#240225.cdg", just in case.  😄

Do you use 2.60b or ETLegacy. If it's 2.60b i think that cvar needs to be in etmain -> profiles -> profilename -> etconfig, and if it's Legacy then it needs to be in legacy -> profiles -> profilename -> etconfig.

 

I have not tested this on 2.60b. but on Legacy this is the case.

[TRU BLOOD]

2.60 using. I'm still using W-10 and a little reluctant to upgrade to W-11 now. I did try the /seta in the console that shows "0" as default. Changing it didn't help. I did try the change in the etmain profile and changed it to 1, still no change.

[Tukkonen]

Can you post your config in the etmain profile? I tried to some tests and never got that to show 0 as default

Can you add manually to that file seta s_initsound "1"  ?

 

Normally it's not in the file, and 2.60 on my computer doesen't add the line if i do in console with /seta. I tried to tweak around and i never got myself it to have 0 by default 🤯
