Please tell me anyone else have had this problem. My assault rifle's sound is missing. I suspect that it happened after one of the rate of fire upgrades that I did on it.

When I fire, there's no sound. It's like shooting an imaginary gun at people...very annoying..Has anyone had this? Or does anyone know how to fix it?

:(


I've updated my sound drivers to the latest version and tried a whole bunch of other things with no result. I might re-install the game, but that seems like a bit overkill.

Did you make sure your sound effect options are full in the sound settings in the game?

It could also be a corrupt game file so also try reinstalling or repairing.
 
Change your sound card settings in game between headphones and stereo and see if that makes a difference. I know with COD4 and Win7 there are major conflicts etc... and either you can get in game but have no sound or the game crashes immediately and you have to change your win sound settings to read Headphones in order for the game to work properly. :rolleyes:
 
@Merenwenrago: Yebo, it's only the assault rifles shooting sound. ALL the other sounds in the game work. Reloading, the bullets hitting the walls etc, but just not the gun's shooting sound. Very odd dude, it's like you're shooting a completely silenced gun at someone, only, they can hear it. Rofl. I did a defrag of the game files through steam as well is verifying the files, running the game directly from the .exe as admin etc, all that crap. To no avail :/.

Waco, I haven't tried that since it's not a graphics issue, it's an audio issue. But I will see if that makes a difference. It's sooo annoying! I don't really want to play the game like that :(

Lol, there are no settings like that in-game. Just volume settings. :( Trust me dude, I tried eeeverything I could possibly think of.
 
here you go tooks

[h=1]No Game Sound or Audio[/h] Talk about a common problem people experience! To fix the music and sound, you can try disabling Hardware Acceleration and also try to reduce the Sample Rate Conversion Quality to fix this:

1) Load the Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices
2) In the Volume tab, click the “Advanced” button under “Speaker settings”, then click the “Performance” tab
3) Move the slider from “Full” and “Best” to “None” and “Good”. Now click “OK”
Try doing these one at a time rather than just lowering them both as you may not need to lower / disable both.
Another method is to use the infamous DXDIAG:
1) Go to Start -> Run — type in “dxdiag”
2) Click the “Sound” tab and under “DirectX Features” move the slider over from “Full Acceleration” to “no acceleration” to disable the setting for DirectSound

As if I haven't tried that already :P Since it's the only page in the whole farkin' interwebs that has any info relating to an audio error in DXHR hahahaha!! :P

Thanks anyways man. I tried all that stuff, but the hardware acceleration is only for OS's below Windows 7. :( None of the "troubleshooting" I found on the internet gave me any answers. Almost feels like I'm the only person having this problem :O. Maybe I should just re-install the game and get it over with.

Maybe it's a corrupt quicksave and I'll have to start the entire game over again. Super bleak.

Weird hope you find the fix for it. Only other thing I can think of is to uninstall the sound card and reinstall it again.

Sounds like a game bug. Load earlier saves to see if at any point the sound starts working again, try figure out what specifically broke the sound on the weapon.

Yeah I did load up a previous save and the sound was working. I think it was one of the rate-of-fire upgrades on that gun because I don't remember using it again after that. After quite a lot of progress I used the gun again and only noticed then that the firing sound was missing :(.

Aagh least you figured it out. Hope they are aware of the bug and are going to try fix it.
 
Tooks just wait for the patches to be released, it's obviously a glitch. Have you also forwarded this problem to the dev team or to their support team??
 
I also got something like this, but it was because I saved at the wrong point in time and it corrupted my save some how. It was with all the sound in the game though so I realized it quickly, and just reloaded a auto save and it was good.

Yeah dude, maybe it was that hey. I found that the quicksaves somehow corrupts the game in weird ways and I had to reload to fix it. Maybe I must just start from way back :( Or wait for a patch.


Lol Rusty :D
