No Sound in the Lobby& in Game

[Rengaru]

Hello,

I have no sound in FA anymore when I start it with FAF.
However if I launch the game with the SupremeCommander.exe everything is fine.
I didn't play since the end of August 2016 and back then everything was alright.

I recorded a little video to showcase it:

yt /watch?v=8UrlHN1-G98

(I am not allowed to post links)

0:40 FAF launch 1:00 SC.exe launch

I tried different soundcards in stereo mode (Realtek onboard & SoundBlaster Omni)
I reinstalled FAF
I tried the alpha FAF launcher
I resetted all settings in FAF
& I deleted the game.prefs file

..but nothing helped so far.

Does anyone have an idea of how I could fix it ?

Thanks

oki I also tried:

reinstalling FA
uninstalling Sound Drivers
tried one more external soundcard
checked if the sound is passthroughed via HDMI

some other things too, bot nothing fixed it o:

in the game.log there is always standing this:
info: Hooked /lua/userInit.lua with /schook/lua/userInit.lua
info: Hooked /lua/globalInit.lua with /schook/lua/globalInit.lua
info: MD5 of global settings: 6d164112cb40b8236e1a2e0c4c7c814f
warning: SND: Error initializing audio engine.
Invalid data

however this doesn't help me alot

the only things that have changed ever since august, are windows 10 updates, i54460->xeone3 1230v3 upgrade and some faf updates

The inGame lobby creates a whirring in my monitor. Maybe the sound is actually passthroughed the HDMI port. Very Strange.

The whirring only occurs when the Lobby is in Fullscreenmode.

ps: idk what's wrong but the sound is definetly not send through hdmi

Hey, I am also having troubles with sound ingame. I hear game music and some unit sounds but I dont hear build sounds, ACU walking, units firing and so on!

I lose sound effects now. This has happened before.

Any given sound effect will happen three times and then never again until the game engine is restarted. The music plays fine though.

I can test if it's still a problem by simply creating a game and moving the mouse past the position slot I'm in. It will make a sound indicating the cursor is over it. I scroll up and down past it a couple times and then nothing. Strange.
