I've been playing ss13 for quite a while and since about a week ago, any game I try to play on byond just doesn't play any sound. This is not due to server preferences as they are unchanged, and I double checked they were fine.
Neither is it a problem that it is muted in volume mixer, I tried making sounds ingame and just watched as the volume mixer just stayed flat, without sound.
I cannot recall when the problem started happening but there was no significant change to my computer or byond, apart from the fact I got new headphones, which wouldn't make any difference.

The sound library we use is pretty common. I have to think you have some kimd of sound issue om your computer itself.
|
And how would I fix said problem, let alone know what it is, seeing as literally everything but byond games work.
|
Could be something like a driver issue. What else changed on ypur system when this happened? What happens if you do a system restore to the last time it worked?

My drivers are up to date, and nothing else changed if I recall correctly, also I don't have any system restores available sadly.
|
The only byond issue i know of relating to sound is that it doesn't handle changes to the default sound target gracefully..
Things like plugging in a headphone on some sound cards that treat the headphone port as a separate sound target from the speakers/speaker port, using bluetooth headphones, connecting/disconnecting to remote desktop, etc. This is normally fixable by closing and re-opening byond or restarting. Not sure if this applies to you. Could also try re-installing byond, as the sound library could have gotten corrupted. |

I've literally just fixed the problem just now, I uninstalled the drivers to my razer headphone and it reinstalled it, but I stopped it from download the "Razer Synapse" software and now it works.

It wasn't no ordinary driver issue, as all the drivers actually had an update, I guess it was just the Razer Synapse program changing something
|
Yeah, I tend to be suspicious of any software that governs the entirety of the sound output.
