i have tried all of these fixes none of them worked.


If you think it's down to the game rather than your PC, you can try our usual steps for a reinstall below. I appreciate you're at least sort of fixed so might not want to do anything now but may be an option if you find the issue arises again :) Fingers crossed all will be ok now!

  • Verify your game files in Steam

  • Right click on Space Engineers in Steam Library → Properties → Local Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files

  • Delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file

  • It means your game configuration will be deleted
  • You can access your SpaceEngineers.cfg by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

  • Delete ShaderCache folder

  • Back up your whole Space Engineers Roaming folder and delete it
  • Restart Steam
  • Reinstall VC Redist 2017
  • Update graphic drivers
  • Reinstall the game
  • Make sure your operating system is fully updated

Hello, zachary prandini,


thank you for the log. Based on the information in it, you are missing the required XAudio2 DLLs (dynamic link libraries). This is causing the game to run without sound.


To resolve this issue and restore sound in the game, you need to ensure that the necessary XAudio2 DLLs are installed on your computer. Here's what you can do:


  1. Update DirectX: XAudio2 is a part of DirectX, so updating DirectX to the latest version might help. You can download and install the latest version of DirectX from the official Microsoft website.
  2. Install DirectX libraries: if the above does not help then try to install this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 it contains some libraries which might resolve your issue

Thank you for letting me know if it worked.


Kind regards,
