Cant hear any sound in game
hi everyone.
i dont know if this quarry belongs here but it's the PC section so here goes:
im dog sitting by brother's dog at his house for a few weeks and i got his computer and games to myself while he's abroad.
he has an issue with Far Cry 4 he hasnt managed to solve yet - there is no sound in game.
i googled this issue and found suggestions to try changing the playback configuration from 5.1 to stereo or change the sample rate or to install directx 9.0c or the realtek drivers again... nothing works.
with the dx installation the installation detected a newer or equivalent version on this computer so it didnt install.
also i tried deleting the d3d files in system32 and in sysWOW64 but the computer told me that i needed administrator privileges for that, and i dont know how to circumvent this issue. besides, even if i DID know - i wouldnt know EXACTLY what files to remove and wouldnt want to damage my brother's computer.
My brother said that FC4 worked just fine before. he hasnt played it in a while and recently wanted to replay it and - poof. no sound in game. cinematics and logos make sound. nothing else does. not online nor offline.
He recently bought AC:Unity and this game works flawlessly. he said the rainbow six siege beta also worked fine.
any ideas?!?
