PC: Soundless shouts, no Fus Ro Dah, etc

I've seen answers to this but oddly not for PC. If this is answered elsewhere, point me to the right place.

 

1. I can't use the third part of Unrelenting Force. Yes, I know, hold the button down (it is Z in my keyboard config, the default). But nothing. I have learned it, it's in my list, I did the quest. But I only get the first part of the shout, ever. Without the Talos Amulet, it still takes 45 secs to cooldown, so the game thinks I have it. I have used the player.teachword command to learn it, nothing. I thought maybe I needed to use a soul to learn it, I have a soul to use, but in my menu the Fus Ro Dah is already known and I can't use a soul. Yes, I know, reload a save. I've done that. I actually reloaded one from waaaaay back, fast traveled to Hrothgar, nothing. If it's a game glitch it's something I can't fix with a reload. I can't imagine I'm the only person having this problem.

 

2. Are dragon shouts supposed to actually have words you can hear? I look at videos on YouTube and mine never sound like that. Even the ones I know all three parts of, no sound. I mean, I get a flaming sound for the fire shouts etc., but no actual words. Problem?

Really? No ideas at all, eh? Lots of views, and no answers. Hmm.

 

1. no one knows why UF won't work on my PC? Yes, the button is held down. I'm the only person this has happened to?

 

2. no one knows if dragon shouts are supposed to have words when you do them? The sound is great on my pc, and Skyrim sounds awesome. But no words when I shout. Is this normal?

I'll look into this issue for you, but none of us have seen something like that happen for a long, long time without it having to do with some sort of file corruption. In the meantime (and I hate saying this), you might want to try reinstalling the game and see if that helps. Some people have had issues with specific audio files not playing at all, and they have had to manually add the files themselves.

I have the same problem. My Fus roh da does not play at all none of it plays. I've manually added them to my data folder by extracting them from the BSA archives and loaded loose files still nothing then tried using a replacer mod for it and still no sound. I'll try reinstalling it tomorrow and see if that fixes it.

 

Edit: reinstalled didn't help. Oh well. I'll figure it out eventually.

I have the same problem too. Shouts work, but you can't hear the words. I wonder if it has something to do with the saved-game alternate start I got off the Nexus... Did you use an alternate start too? I'll have to start a new game to see if that is the problem.

 

EDIT - I think I have the same issue with bows and swords as well...

 

EDIT 2 - uh oh, I started a new game, and no dialogue at all. All the other sounds are there, but no voices. Still not sure if I don't have sword/bow sounds either.

 

EDIT 3 - went into steam and validated my cache files and now have shout sounds. Running into town to make sure I have npc voices as well.

So after playing this game for some time last year, i recently got it off steam after my previous install... method... lost ALL weapon sounds, except a sword swing hitting the environment. Magic seemed to be okay, as did shouts. Tried reinstalling sounds.bsa, extracting sounds.bsa and loading the loose files, etc etc. what was weird, is that after swapping weapons, i'd have sword swinging noises, but as soon as combat started, or i'd save, no block noises, no swinging noises etc etc... But ambience, and music were always fine. Also no noise for levers or doors. When i extracted the sounds.bsa, all the weapon sounds were there, it's as if the game isn't "calling" them.

 

Anyone got any suggestions? i've tried multiple reinstalls of the game/directx/nvidia drivers/sound drivers etc etc...

Soon i'll be trying a clean install of operating system. Currently on win 7 64bit with latest Realtek (oh s***) Audio drivers (AC892)

Thanks in advance

So this is the issue I have. I started the game and I assume i was this way from the beginning. It only stuck out when I absorbed the first word of UF but didnt get teh "Epic music" for doing so. Bows, swords, and blocks don't make sound. From what I have read this issue has an unknown origin. What processor does everyone run? I run on XP, I know some errors may occur due to this but i am just double checking Edited by tkovich
