    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 :)
