Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012 Absolutely No Sound

★★★ Newbie

So I was playing NFS MW 2012 last week from when this was posted without any problems. I go to launch it now, I get no sound at all. There is no audio at the start sequence, from the cars, or any music. When I launch the game, it doesn't even come up in the volume mixer in Windows. Every other program I use is fine.

 

What I have done to try and fix the problem:

Restart Windows

Update Windows

Update graphics/audio drivers

Uninstall and reinstall the game including deleting all the files (through Steam)

Setting the Windows compatibility to Windows 7

Running NFS MW as administrator

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi @xxXTheStig24Xxx 

 

To check if you plug your headset directly into your PC do you hear game audio? 

 

Also to check have you tried the following?

 

Thanks!

Hello @EA_Illium 

 

I have not plugged in my headphones directly, but I know that wont change the issue.

 

As mentioned in the original post, I verified the files through Steam.

I also, although I forgot to mention it, did clear the EA apps cache.

Nothing else has worked thus far.
