No footstep sounds while in 3rd person with weapon sheathed, need help

[AlleyCa7]

 

 

 

Hey all,

 

This just started happening tonight after two weeks of great sound. It seems that every sound effect is working except the footsteps while I am running, walking, or crouching, and only with my weapon sheathed. The footstep sounds come back when I have a weapon (of any type) drawn or while in first person (sheathed and not). Jumping sound always works.

 

 

The only sound mod I have is Sounds of Skyrim. This has worked fine for a week now.

I have zero weapon mods.

Had an outdated Realtek driver, the sound worked great for the two weeks I've owned the game. Updated the drivers today after finding this problem, no luck.

I have Logitec G35 headphones. The footsteps are still broken while using them as well as my desktop speakers.

I tried re-caching the steam files, no luck.

 

The latest mod I installed before noticing this was the Realistic Smoke and Embers mod by Isoku. Uninstalled, problem is still persisting.

 

 

Other people are having this issue as well, see these related threads:

This is really ruining the experience for me.

 

Anyone encounter this problem, or might know of a suggestion or fix?

 

Thanks,

hey people,

 

I recently fix this no footstep sound when weapon sheathed...

 

This is how to fix it:

1. DON'T uninstall CHSBHS

2. download another mod at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/35035/?

3. install it using NMM

4. when prompt to overwrite file from CHSBHS just click "YES" make sure you DONT click "YES TO ALL". READ IT CAREFULLY!! because it may overwrite your other mod such as ur bow idle animation, skeleton, etc..

5. To be safe, just click "YES" when it overwrite file from CHSBHS

6. play the game

 

I hope your sound issue will fix and sorry for my bad english.. it has been awhile Im typing things in English..

 

Good Luck and let me know whether your problem fix or not..

 

Cheers,

Sawari

 

Hey man THANKS a lot! This solved my problem, i was using the sevenbase mod thanks a lot XD.

 

What's that mod I need to install? it's been a while and the link doesn't work any more :sad:

 

What he said, please!

Same :(

Guess I will keep this thread going. I am experiencing the same issue. Had sound, then it went away. Not much information around, this thread is still at the top.

 

This thread does offers hints but it would be so much useful if people would type more detail on how they actually fixed the problem.

Linking to mods would help if the mods wouldn't be taken offline with no hint of what they were.

 

Back to searching... :(

It seems to me that Nexus' url structure may have changed at some moment... The page linked above - https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/35035/? - shows "Not found" but there is the page https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35035/? which shows the mod "Natural Breast Animation", ready to download.

 

If it is the same mod (it will replace a file of CHSBHS), I'd recommend to write down which file is this, to have more possibilities to work around this issue in the future... If my memory serves me, Vortex offers such option when resolving conflicts.

 

Edit: I think there are good chances that the mod is the same, because its upload date - 20 April 2013, and the date of the message with the link - 05 June 2013.

Thank you Shumkar. Really appreciate your help.

 

I found what was the issue under my case, the built-in 360 animation from FNIS Sexy Move. The player character footsteps were silent unless the weapon/spell was drawn.

Once I disabled the 360 option on the FNIS MCM the 3rd person foot steps sounds work as expected.

 

Now I can search for a more specific problem, why do those animations break the footstep sounds.

[shumkar]

Magiuss, OK!

 

Wish you to isolate the problem and to create another solution of the issue, more convenient to use.

at least on my situation, some of FNIS animations have issues, the post below accurately describes which:

Okay, so when playing without the 360 Style, Animations 2 and 3 have no footstep sounds for walking.

 

With the 360 Style, Animations 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 have no footstep sounds both for walking and running. And some animations (Running Animation 4, for example) have a different animation altogether.

 

Aside from that, everything else seems to be working.

Fore explained he ported what he could but that he didn't had a way to get the originals since the creators were long gone. So many of the animations have quirks.

It's always sad when developers go...

 

I don't have FNIS installed now, in SE (I used it when was playing in LE), so I'm a little out of touch with it.

This also might be caused by USSEP.
This helped me restore my footstep sounds:
