Spilcam Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I got the game two weeks ago. Before I installed any mods, the radio worked fine. I added mods, then the radio stopped working. I deleted all mods, reinstalled NV, and the radio still didn't work. I can hear Mr. New Vegas talk, he saying what the next song is, but the song doesn't play. On the radio menu in the pip-boy, it shows there's sound on the frequency going, but I don't hear any. It seems to only be music files that do not play, and I don't understand why. I've looked at other posts, but nothing has helped. I tried doing the reinstall with the disk through Steam and checking for missing files, and all Steam tells me is one file is missing and will be added or whatever, but nothing was added yet? I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do to fix this, any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Oriole Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 This codec pack fixed it for me. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/k_lite_codec_pack.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirfedora Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Unfortunately I don't have an answer to your post, but I want to bump this thread because I'm experiencing the SAME exact problem and I can't figure it out either. I'm completely certain it's not a codec problem, and have also tried deleting/reinstalling the game but to no avail. I thought there were supposed to be 2 versions of the audio files (one for the radios in-game and the other for pipboy), but I can't remember why I'm thinking that, so it doesn't help much. I wanted to come back to this game for a fresh start though and this is preventing me from playing it.. funny part is, I'll get sick of hearing those same songs a million times anyway.. I just want it to be working properly. In summary: BUMP, and PLEASE help :) Edited May 3, 2011 by sirfedora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSledgeNY Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I don't know if you're still having the music problem but I had a similar issue myself a few weeks ago. When starting the game, I'd get the main menu screen ok but there was no background music playing. The same thing happened in-game. I had recently updated my video drivers (AMD) and I installed a codec pack that was offered by AMD. Well apparently Fallout NV just HATES any codecs other than the default ones that come packaged with Windows. Uninstalling the codecs didn't work since there were registry entries that needed to be reset. It just so happens that theres a utility on the Nexus that addresses this problem and you can find it here: http://www.newvegasn...le.php?id=35868 Problem solved, for me at least. I hope this helps you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDKorving Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hello, I have the same problem that if I load my save game the background music stops playing. But I clicked the utility link but I got an error. Could you give me the exact link please or pm it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudStriker94 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Bumping this long-dead thread since I have the very same problem and the link provided in the last post seems to be dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Nexus changed the link format between then and now. Try this: "DirectShow Filter _Codec_ Reset" by Blade FireLight. Note the new link format is the usual "http://www. " prefix followed by "nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/< mod id number >/?". -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
