Cloud shared this bug 4 months ago
Need More Information

explained issue on steam forums and someone threw me this link,

https://steamcommunity.com/app/244850/discussions/6/3464975177698306889/

i tried the fixes top down and it worked one time but the next day it had become an issue again.

>worlds loading will sometimes set volume music and sounds to full mute / 0

>main menu sound will sometimes be muted for both sliders in settings as well

>most of the time if main menu is bugged putting the sound volume sliders back to whatever value above 0 usually works but sometimes it doesnt.

> in worlds after loading the sound glitch happens but the sliders never work


ive tried everything from reinstalling to restarting pc, steam, updating drivers, deleting file caches and shader caches and even tried loading older and newer worlds.

then of course the steps of trouble shooting from the link provided above.

im starting to think its a space engineers bug as this issue has happened before but more rarely and only on space engineers. no other games do this.

did some more digging as sound breaks frequently and nearly all the time after loading a world.

found this in logs

today i retry space engineers after a few random things like drivers update and whatever hoping something else is the problem.

i start space engineers first time, no sound as in sliders are full mute.

i reset the sound sliders back to max and theyre working for now.

start new vanilla game and theres sound still.

i save and exit to main menu and the sound is broken again.

sound and music sliders at max/full and anything between and no sound.

thanks for getting back to me, yeah i tried this as a member on steam forums (moderator/helper/someone with special nametag) whoever sent me a link with a list of fixes to try, and this one fixed it once but the next time i tried playing it broke even more and now does not work unless im in main menu and sound sliders are set to non zero from last launch, if i set them to mute then close and re open the game i have to put them on full then exit and re open SE to get just the main menu sound working.

the second any load screen for any worlds shows up all sounds stop forever. only sound ive had for last few months is the main menu before attempting to start or load a fresh world no mods or setting changes. ive tried creative and survival both have same result.


earlier this morning i did some directX diagnosis thing and it says nothing is wrong but i remember one of the space engineers world or game logs stating DX sound stopped. as stated above;

"Thread: 1 -> Exception during loading audio engine. Game continues, but without sound."

i tried once more today to no avail hoping maybe the games new update and a few driver updates since would fix but sadly not
