Quiggleberry Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I have just bought a fresh copy of Oblivion and Shivering Isle and KotN. Just installed. No mods. Load up launcher, music works fine. Pressed play...no sound. No music. No sound effect from clicking on options. Sliders all the way up. Quit and checked the ini files, sound is enabled, checked every line in the ini, all in order. Checked the volume mixer and Oblivion doesn't even show up after the launcher. Checked google,found plenty of posts and all of them were ignored. As this probably will be because this apparently doesn't have a fix. This happened with my steam install as well. So I just can't play Oblivion? I doubt it's my hardware because I have no other sound issues with any other game or application. This is a joke. Please help me out here, I just want to relive my Oblivion experience of a decade ago, I'm not asking to have my game with 474 manually installed script heavy mods and 12 body replacers to run properly, I'm at square one. I just want the vanilla game to work first and that won't even make a single infinitesimal sound. Please, even if you don't know the answer please acknowledge at least that this issue exists and leave some comment of some kind, so far everything i have found on this has been people with the same problem not getting any responses.

iXenite Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Are you running it in compatibility mode? Oblivion really is borderline unplayable on more modern rigs/OS's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iXenite Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Maybe this could help out? Oblivion Technical Support - Sound Issues - UESP: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Technical_Support#Sound_Problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiggleberry Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 FIXED. I literally just had to go into control panel/hardware and sound and a popup came up saying that driver enhancements were detected that are causing problems with some programs and gave me the option to disable them.I recently ran a Malware check after some adware started f*#@ing up my browser so it's possible it was some shitty virus or something. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions, I guess it technically worked seeing as I only went t control panel to do something completely different mentioned on that wiki page :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
