Windows 10 - Sound Problems

[oreganor]

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions, tried them all, including the most promising one that was disabling all sound devices but my headphones in the Device Manager, but no change . I'm starting to think the engine doesn't like my USB SoundBlaster Headphones.

Later I till download and try the free version of MBT to see how it goes.

Regarding playing without sounds... It's what I'm doing the nostalgic "hex" experience makes the game too much fun to play even without them

Have you tried running the game without using the USB SoundBlaster Headphones?

Google No sound in certain games while using USB headset

The results suggest you are not alone and it's an issue with other games as well

I have a builtin realtek-based sound card in my mobo... So it's something I will be able to test at some point, once I get a good analogic headphone. So far I have tested winspMBT and as expected, same problem.

I did borrow today a logitech headset (also USB) and the same problem. And yes, that's why the suggestion about removing non used devices remind me of some past woes trying to replay old games:

- Beware of the default sound device selection and...
- Old software didn't have a clue about USB so watch out those (Miece particularly).

It also meant that I didnt have to worry about blowing the neighbours out of bed in the wee small hours

Mwhahahah... Good point, that's what I try to solve with headphones... Except they do not help with my swearing after the 3rd shot failed in a row at point blank
