Greetings,
I recently purchased and installed the game, played through the initial cinematics, and had not played for a couple weeks. Until today, but upon loading into the game, after the initial splash scenes, the ubisoft, nvidia, etc, after the screen that comes up and says, press any key. I lose all sound. I've tried the directX fix, to no avail. I run my sound through an Alesis multimix4 usb mixer; works with no issues on every other game I own, except this one. Please advise of a fix so I can play this game.
windows 8.1 64 bit
I have this issue although no external sound card. Thinking about it, I cannot remember if I run my sound via hdmi via my graphics card or optical via motherboard.
Either way I have to put it on 2 channel sound via Windows 7 and its fine. reason I know this is I had the exact same issue with watch dogs last year...cannot believe it's still an issue....
Fortunately my sound runs through a home cinema amp which has neo:x so I'm able to get surround sound.
Also, I raised a support ticket over two weeks ago and I'm yet to receive a reply...
