Tobleroon Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hey everyone. I recently got Oblivion on Steam, the launcher runs fine and when I hit play it will either show me the intro titles and than stay on a black screen or just crash. I disabled my sound card (Conexant 20671 SmartAudio HD) and It runs fine, but with no sound. Does anyone know why the sound card is causing these problems/how to fix it? Thanks in advance, I was an avid player on the 360 and was really looking forward to some PC fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxEG Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Try to plug in a headset. You can even try to plug it in the microphone slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobleroon Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Try to plug in a headset. You can even try to plug it in the microphone slot. It dosn't change it. I think the problem is in the sound card/driver because when I disable it it runs fine just without sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker879 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Try deleting your oblivion.ini and let the game redetect your hardware. The file you want to delete will NOT be the one found in your game install directory. That one wil be named oblivion_default.ini and is the file that the game uses to rebuild oblivion.ini. The place you'll find it is in the Oblivion subdirectory in your \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion for Win XP or Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\Oblivion in Vista and Win 7.

MarkInMKUK Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Track down a cheap Soundblaster card - the SoundBlaster range is near enough a gaming standard that it should be the best choice unless you have a specific reason to use a different one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
