The game Skyrim. No sound? We are looking for a solution

Often, launching on the computer a long-awaited "toy", you can meet a number of problems that spoil the whole impression of the game. For example, some do not have sound when running TES: V Skyrim. In this article, we consider the possible causes of this problem and the ways to solve them.

Strangely enough, but most often the problem is that the game comes with a lowered volume by default, i.e. if the sound of the system is quiet enough for you, then it will seem that Skyrim does not have sound at all, although in fact It will just be too quiet. Therefore, experiment with the volume level for a start.

If the first method does not help, we turn to third-party programs. Usually, when fully installed, the game itself exposes all the necessary parameters. Sometimes, however, due to failures or user intervention, you have to make settings manually. Most often, when there is no sound in Skyrim, the cause is the unreached DirectX. Spend a little time and install it from those files that come with the game.

Try to play again in "Skyrim". Is there no sound now? Then go to the next point - to the updates of the game. Install all the necessary patches (in the "toy" they are cumulative, so you can do with the installation of the newest). Patches correct a lot of mistakes both in gameplay and in technical terms. Go to the official website of the game and check to see if you have the latest version of Skyrim. It does not hurt to check and configure the game on Steam - it's quite possible that the item "Automatic update" is disabled.

If after all the actions you have done you still do not have a sound in Skyrim, then the problem lies not in the game, but in your computer. Sound card drivers usually do not need constant updating, but still browse the manufacturer's website and install the latest version to make sure that the sound card is working properly.

In the event that nothing helps, it remains only to reinstall the game completely, in the hope that an error occurred during the installation. But to avoid the repeated problems associated with the fact that there is no sound in Skyrim, we will install the game neatly: first, remove the "toy" by standard means, and then clean the registry with special programs. Secondly, during the installation, disable the anti-virus and other resource-intensive applications for a while. Then install the game again and check for sound effects.

Still silence? Then check the configuration of your speaker system. Try to start the game using the standard settings and in the usual stereo mode. If the sound appears, then it's time to adjust the surround sound system or even play at all in the headphones.

If all of the above does not help, play normally is not possible, then contact the game support team. Describe the problem in detail and mark the message with the subject "Skyrim. No sound". It is possible that you will be helped to solve problems on a professional level.

These tips, although focused on Skyrim, but with a high degree of probability will be suitable for troubleshooting with sound for any game. Do not forget to restart your computer after the drivers have been updated or changed the system settings for the changes to take effect.
