No don't mark it solved please.
While the diagnose is correct for some people problem is more complex.
I tried changing the no_sound setting in the config file but each time the game launches it overwrites the config file back to no sound. I tried making the file read only but the game still overwrites it. Furthermore whenever I try to access options in game the game crashes. Before patch v1.05 I could change it and had sound only with headphones. Also when I had sound the in game options menu did not crash the game.
For the love of god, if anyone knows where the overriding configuration comes from tell me so I can fix it.
Or better yet, DEVs STOP PLAYING DEAD and if you are not going to fix it at least explain why the f*** the config file is keep getting overwritten so we can fix it ourselves.
If anyone from TALEWORLDS bother to read this tread here is some more in for you to troubleshoot:
This problem is available since day one,
Around the second patch I was able to manually change the no_sound setting and play with sounds, ONLY with a headset,
Every patch reverted the config file back and I had to change it again,
After patch v.1.0.5 I'm not able to change it manually. It gets overwritten every single time,
My computer is running win7 with MSI x99a Gaming Pro Carbon MB, Nvidia 1080gtx gpu and Realtek (Nahimic2) sound drivers. All drivers are up to date, no other programs or games have any sound problems whatsoever.
Ok here's some more diagnostic info: When and if game starts up with sound if I go into the options menu and change sound device from headphones to speakers, then after exiting and opening the options menu again shows sound device as no driver. This looks like the game is somehow losing the sound driver when speakers are selected. And when game cannot find the sound driver it is setting the config to no sound.
