I have tried to repair 4 times. I uninstalled and reinstalled once, and everything is up to date. All 4 repairs took 5 mins, and I still don't have sound. I am also using a Mac.0 -
Heishi✭✭✭✭✭Just to throw it out there, I'm using the patched beta client and the only sound issue I had was in char creation with the voices. The actual voice acting in game, bgm, and sfx seem to be fine for me. The audio I have is Realtek High Definition Audio version 6.0.1.6378 from back in 2011. I do also have NVIDIA HD Audio drivers, but I'm not using them.And so did many brave men, women, and beast fall to the end of Beta, never to be heard from again. All that is left, is whispers of the adventures they had.0 -
SK1TZ0FR3N1K✭✭✭I actually had this problem the other day outside of ESO. I had sound on everything, but when I loaded up a game, the sound disappeared. What I learned made absolutely no sense whatsoever, but it worked. My Samsung TV that I have connected to my PC as my monitor, has a standby feature. I was told to turn my TV off, then back on, and as soon as I did that, my sound was back on my game. Day 1 in ESO, it happened again, so I turned the TV on and off, and the sound reappeared. Not saying it will fix it for you, but doesn't hurt to try it.“There are three kinds of men. The ones that learn by readin’. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.” -Will Rogers0 -
Any chance we can get one free voice change, seeing as the audio was bugged during character creation and we couldn't hear the difference?1

tspecherb14_ESO✭✭✭Same here. Using updated beta client. Had no problem with sound in beta. Now there are no voiceovers/voice sounds.0 -
Same. Nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem, but sad we are all having this problem! I'm using updated beta as well.0

lovek323✭I was having this problem (mac), but it is now fixed.
I performed the following:- Complete re-install of the game (was using the beta client before, now using the latest client freshly downloaded)
- No longer installed on an external hard drive, now installed on main HDD
Not sure which of these made the difference.Edited by lovek323 on April 3, 2014 4:07AM0 -

✭Hi, folks. Thank you for your patience. For those of you who still have no sound after following the troubleshooting steps listed in this thread, can you verify for us if the text in your game is in the correct language? Thank you.0 -
Also same problem, tried repairs, clean install... The written launguage is correct = English0
-
Same, I haven't had any sound at all (except for intro) and I did the repair and everything. English as well.0
-
The solution is pretty simple. Uninstall the beta and install the main game. If you delete the old data, you'll have to download it again. If you're hesitant to delete it, you'll still have to repair, which can take just as long.0

rczerny✭Hello!
Thank you for taking the time. While my sound is still not working, the in-game language (text) is correctly set to german for me.
Best regards,
René
P.s.: I am on a Mac and downloaded the fresh client yesterday.
P.p.s.: Of course I tried everything that was suggested here, except completely reinstalling. I didn't see the point, as I just installed the whole thing yesterday.ZOS_TristanK wrote: »Hi, folks.

AstroCat✭✭✭I'm having an issue in that the sound over time starts disappearing. VO, SFX, ambient, music etc... I did not have this problem in beta, or pre-release. Logging out and back in will fix it, temporarily.
Also interestingly the problem only seems to happen during high peak hours. Play in the morning, and it never happens, play at night with lots of people around and it happens.
Totally a game bug and not on my end. Any fixes? Thanks.Edited by AstroCat on April 8, 2014 8:26PM0 -

AstroCat✭✭✭If you have the time make sure to submit a support ticket. The more people that do it the better chance it will get fixed. Thanks.0

Thank you, worked for me!Evangel_Cottrell wrote: »Did a repair and it finally finished. Sound is working fine now. So spread the word to use repair if a friend is having issues!
67% I'm hoping that this works for me as well.

This is not really a solution or proper fix, but should work temporarily if you are desperate for sound, nor can i assure that this will work for everyone.
Open up youtube or windows media player / itunes, play music then pause it, then run ESO again, thats how it worked for me as for now.
Like I said, dont take my word for it, may not work for everyone."

This is the same issue I'm having. I still get music and environment sound but footsteps and other SFX are being lost after a few minutes. I have sent tickets about this issue but the only solution they can come up with is to run the repair tool and disable/enable my sound card which doesn't help at all. I'm tired of this now and cancelled my subscription.
Soundcard: Asus Xonar DG. I have asked if it could be my soundcard that's the issue but they can't seem to answer that either.

That isn't a solution. I reinstalled the launcher and game after deleting all the old files (Fresh install) but still have the same issue. The issue is at their end not ours.

AstroCat✭✭✭The issue is 100% on ZOE side, there is nothing you can do or your end to fix this problem. It will always be there until they fix. The only "fix" is logging off and on again. Add it to then massive pile of ESO bugs.1
-
Craig81Soul ShrivenOk so switching back to on-board sound seems so have solved my issue. Maybe this game just doesn't agree with some soundcards. I have been playing for 10 minutes with all sounds active. I'll update if there's any changes.0

These are the steps that I went through with support over a 40 min phone call. They really did try to help me but it just didn't work. I can tell this is on the ESO side. Otherwise doing these things would have helped. Also my sound would have never worked in the first place. The support team does care though. Where else would i get a 40 min phone call with several call backs trying to get me back to enjoying the game the way it should be. I'll continue to pay and play, I just hope this gets fixed soon. Without the awesome sound to go with it the game just isn't the same. If you find a way to fix your sound issues please let me know and post it here, because we would all like to know.0 -
Gisgo✭✭✭✭✭I had this problem on a different game it turned out it was my x box (pc) controller on the wrong port

jbfroik✭✭✭WHAT LOL. Just because you had it plugged into the wrong usb? perhaps ill try moving some stuff around brb lol

jbfroik✭✭✭I found out what the problem was. I opened the sound mixer while the game was on and somehow ESO was muted by windows. So if you are having this problem check that also. I'll continue to hang out here and check if people have this problem just to kindof pay it forward for all the time support spent with me last night.0

Yes this happens to me also. It happens and I have to relog. Seems there no trigger, it just happens when it likes. I have an X-FI Fatality.0
