New guy here.... Having a rather weird issue. I get no combat/ambient sounds, yet the music player plays music ,which can be lowered/raised with the in-game toggle meaning the client is in fact producing sound. I've tried a host of issues and checked that it's enabled in launcher options, ini etc. I even applied a Codec Fix from P1999 that didn't help. Any ideas?
Today... I remembered back in the day that sound channels were a thing and also todays drivers offer digitalout/headphone/speakers... That said my soultion was to change in EQClient.INI: DefaultChannel=32 Sound44k=1 SpeakerType=1 Not sure which one actually made the difference but it works now! EDIT: This is actually a very nuanced thing and I did find am ACTUAL solution, but it's... weird. I can reproduce it 100x out of 100. 1. Log in to character select however, forcing the game to load from EQClient.ini. 2. Back out to pre-login, so that you have Options present. 3. Enter Options and go to the sound box. Uncheck so that's its disabled. Confirm. 4. Re-enter Options and re-enable sound. 5. Login to pre-char select. 6. Edit Resolution in EQClient.INI to prefered setting.. 7. rejoice in sound when you login. Yeahhhhhhhhhh. It's wild AF but it works
