No Sound when Using "O" - Resolved by changing keyboard.

Post by Asporc »

Since yesterday the Sound when I Try to pick up Crates is gone.
The Items seem to come nearer and the Sound while Picking them up oder while firing is working.
But the Sound vor The "Gravity Magnet" while Using O is gone.
At the 14.02 It worked normally.
I have not Changed Anything at my PC or the Sound Options ingame.

No changes have been made to the game for several months, so whatever has happened must be local to your PC. Start by performing a full file verification of the game using the Steam client (assuming that's what you're using) and see if that helps.

If not then you're going to need the information requested in the very first thread at the top of the forum, the one with "Please read this before posting!" in the title. Without a DXDiag, vulkaninfo, your game version, and whether or not your game is modified, we have very little chance of being able to help you.

The game can use sometimes different sound channels for playing music, speech, sound effects, and 'ambient'. I'm unsure which the loot collector sound is included under so check that each of your sound connectors/cables haven't developed any issues and that the relevant channels are enabled for playback and with appropriate volumes.

It has been known for other apps/games to change sound settings and not always put them back to default.

After I postet i get a few further Problems.
I was not able to Use the Long-Range-Scanner Laser-Beams did not work right and the Turbo made Problems too.

After some time I understood that the Keyboard made Problems when Holding a Key.
Keyboard changed an everything worked like before.
Even the sound.
It seems that the O-Holding- Sound beginns with a half second silence and since my keyboard sended "oooooooo" instead of "o-Holding" the sound semed to be away.
