I have restarted everything and still no fix, I played around with the drivers and managed to get it to work once. Then when I restarted this sound was absent again.

Anyone have any ideas?

Alright, I had an issue where I had no sound at all when I started up the game. I also had no sound in any of my steam games or anything, only sound in Skype and Discord. I restarted my PC and game several times and it did nothing. I went to my sound in the bottom right of windows and saw that there wasn’t just my headphone sound settings, it was some AMD thing that got installed when I updated my drivers to play the beta. I went to sound settings in control panel and disabled the thing that AMD installed and everything was back to normal. The beta’s sound was on and my steam sound was back. Hope this helps.

Was it an audio driver?

I know how to fix it. i was just ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯ around in the control panel and i did it :).

all you have to do is turn of the enchantments of your sound.

a shortcut to do this is: Troubleshooting → (under hardware and sound) troubleshoot audio playback. → disable all enchantments

works perfectly!

i hope this helped you as much as it did for me \<3.

**My Solution:**  
On Windows 10 it changed my audio device upon first launch, so I alt+tabbed out, clicked my speaker settings on my taskbar, and changed it back to the correct output device.

Hope this helps!

Apparently, when you install a new video driver and do a clean install, the sounds defaults back to the monitor. Click the sound icon and re-select your output. Similar to what ^^ said.

On Windows 10, if you just installed the new Nvidia driver, right click the sound button on the bottom right of the taskbar and click sounds, then go to playback, then make sure that your correct audio playback device is selected. Make sure to disable whatever is not working. It worked for me

All my other games (non EA/DICE/ORIGIN) play sound without any issues.

If I attempt to start BF1 the game and system sound goes mute.  
Only way to get sound back is to reset comp and not to run BF1.  
I have tried all solutions mentioned here, but no.

As all of my other games, video’s, music.. say what not… work, I don’t feel that my system settings are wrong and I’m not going to pursue any red herring chase.  
It’s very clear that when starting BF1 the sound stops.

Why do I pay money for this? Can I get a refund?

A grumpy DoubleE bids adieu…

As Mr\_Toastman15 and OminousZ said, if you’ve just installed a new graphic card driver it automatically changes the audio playback device to Monitor (instead of headphones). I changed it back to headphones and then the sound came back to normal! 🙂

So, if you have no sound (and you’ve had sound before in BF1), check what Win10 has chosen as your audio playback device! 🙂

I was having this issue today and for some reason my headset was reading as a microphone. Right click on sound icon is taskbar and go to recording devices and see if it is on. If so, disconnect. Hopefully this helps you.

I had this and it’s melted My head. Found how to sort it though. Go to control panel, hardware and sound, then change system sound. Crank it up.
