No sound / pinned solution doesn't work.

[GIJonas]

Hello, I have just recently downloaded this game and everything works flawlessly except for the sound. I can hear menu music, loading songs, and the sound it makes when you scroll and select a new weapon and that is it. Very rarely I can hear a jet fly by. I tried using the bfv-sound-fix mod but when i run the executable it opens and closes right away and nothing happens. I tried running the game in every compatibility mode possible and nothing has seemed to work. Any ideas on what might work? Thanks!

As I said above, that solution has done nothing for me unless im doing something wrong.

Copy the SoundFix folder in the same folder where you have the BFV files (this is what I did and it worked for me in January.) Run the Install file as Administrator. Make sure your Windows virus & security ransomware protection is turned off. (Turn it back on after running the install file.) Hope this helps.

Hey.
Have you been following our installation guide? https://www.helloclan.eu/pages/bfv-downloads/
Have you tried the no-cd crack before installing sound fix?

You need to run the install file for the sound after you drop it in the BFV folder.

Still no luck getting the sounds working?
Windows 10 is famous for not supporting many old games, and with each next update it seems like it's getting even worse..

There are many possible reasons behind it, so it's hard to say what is the cause. I have looked through similar problems our users have ever encountered, maybe you can find something helpful here:

You can also try next method. Not sure if it would work for you, but let's try!

Go to settings folder inside your Battlefield Vietnam directory (for example, C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\BfVietnam\settings) and open Default.con. Inside you will see something like this:

rem *** for BC
rem Game.GameLevelPath BFVietnam/Levels/Operation_Irving/

Game.useMenu 1
Game.useHud 1
Game.menuMain BattlefieldMenu
Game.menuInGame InGame
Game.menuMap Map
Game.DebugCallbackDisabled 0

run AliasedCommands.con

softRun ../../../Tools/Editors/Editors.con

You will need to add after Game.DebugCallbackDisabled 0 one of the following lines:
Game.soundbuffersize 400
Game.soundbuffersize 1000
Sound.soundBufferCacheSize 400
Sound.soundBufferCacheSize 1000

So it would look something like this:

rem *** for BC
rem Game.GameLevelPath BFVietnam/Levels/Operation_Irving/

Game.useMenu 1
Game.useHud 1
Game.menuMain BattlefieldMenu
Game.menuInGame InGame
Game.menuMap Map
Game.DebugCallbackDisabled 0
Game.soundbuffersize 1000

run AliasedCommands.con

softRun ../../../Tools/Editors/Editors.con

Try each of these 4 configurations one by one, you will also need to re-launch the game every time you apply changes to Default.con file.
If nothing works, you can also experiment with values between 1~1000 (200, 500, 700, etc).

I really appreciate all the help but I have tried everything here and I even took the time to test every number in intervals of 100 and nothing.

Have you tried to update your sound drivers to the latest version available? Or roll it back to previous versions otherwise?

I recently came back to playing BFV on W10 after many years off. It was still installed on my PC HD. All I had to do to get it running was NO-CD patch (1.21) and modify the executable to Win XP 2 compatibility. Everything was fine for the first couple of days. Then I realized I could run it at a higher resolution and turn on the in-game music. Upon doing so, I lost ALL in game sound via HDMI to my monitor's built in speakers. After that, nothing I could do, including the sound patch made any difference, including most everything mentioned here. Again, sound is great during game startup and in all menus.

So, after a couple of days of changing everything with no results, I dug out my old USB headset and viola I have in game sound thru the headset sets. Wierd. So I unplug, reboot and run the game again without the headsets and I am still not getting in game sound via HDMI. So I think this shows there is something about the hardware/driver via HDMI that is causing the problem. BTW, I also rolled back all my sound drivers with no luck.

So I pulled out an old speaker with the 3 conductor audio pin connector. It also works great. So I guess I now consider this an HDMI audio issue for now.

Did you check your sound settings in windows and make sure your desired speakers were selected as default?

I run these old games on a windows xp machine, its worth having WinXP and Win10 as a dual boot system in my opinion. I have never had issues running my games this way.
