No Audio
« on: February 27, 2022, 04:50:43 pm »
So.. suddenly I get no audio whatsoever.
I get normal audio everywhere else, only OXCE is completely silent.

I was modding and launching the OXCE several times, and I had audio.
Then I used audacity to make a new sound, and I also downloaded audio from youtube using a firefox plugin..
..and boom, no more sound.

-restarted PC.
-wiped OXCE folder and user folder.
-installed latest OXCE version (I was running an old one).
nothing.

Is my computer possessed?

Edit: I also cannot enter debug mode using CTRL+D, what is going on aaahhh

to enter debug mode, you need `debug: true` in the config file

can you upload both your config file and the log file?

Here you go.
I don't think OXCE is the culprit, but rather some kind of bullshit is going on on my computer.
I opened the Windows Mixer Volume and the volume for OXCE process was set to 0. After raising it, still no sound (but the audio bar blips green, so the game seems to be normally playing the audio, yet somehow it is muted).

It's like the audio for OXCE is outputted in another audio channel, not the speakers

Edit: I did it!
Somewho the "generic" speaker volume was set to 100%, while the "left" and "right" speakers were both set to 0%... I didn't even know these settings existed at all!
This nice tool helped me understand what the hell was going on:
