Audio suddenly stopped workking?

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 7:27 pm

Hey.

I have played about 25 hours (with pauses, erm) and everything worked fine, last evening I saved, exited, turned pc off. Today I ran everything normally, the intro song sounded a bit weird, but loaded and noticed that everything is extremely silent (despite what I do with audio sliders), so tryied to run it again, and noticed the intro song isn't a bit weird, but actully sounds like it's bacwards...or like some alien language from Star Wars and keeps turning loud and silent. Then again, in the game itself everything is very silent, except for occasional loud sound from...some source.
restart of computer did nothing either.

I really don't know what wen't wrong here, but I would be very gratefull for help.
Thanks in advance for any response.

Edit: Sorry for typos everywhere, I'm just too down and don't have enough coffeee to avoid them or fix them, eheh.

So basically everything sounds like gibberish? The common suggestions for this are:

1) Reduce your speaker settings to 4.0/4.1 if you are using a more complex speaker setup. I went with 2.1.

2) Reduce your audio output device's output format/quality to 44.1kHz (16 bit I think, or maybe 24 bit is okay).

Well, Weird. Just as suddenly as it astarted, it ended. Works fine again without me doing anything. Apart from restarting the game quite a few times.
