First time it was OK... second time, I get no sound

Shaamaan · 12-14-2011, 09:23 AM

The thread title is almost entirely self explanatory.

I've bought Humble Indie Bundle #4 and ran SMB. First time, the sound is there and things are fine.

But when I started it up again, I can hear the the sounds during the intro and the title screen, but as soon as I press Space to actually get to the title menu, everything is silent.

I've checked in Sound settings in Windows 7 to see if, perhaps, sound is coming out of a different device rather than the default... no devices showed the little green "bar" moving to indicate they're getting any output.

EDIT: I've reinstalled the game, and that seemed to have done it. Weird. O.o

Please help!

Sounds to me you had the volume in the options set to 0, as it loads your preferences once you activate the main menu.

I think Rickenlotus is probably right on this. I had the exact same problem you described when I booted up my game today and the fix was simply going into settings and cranking to sound back up to normal. I have no idea why it set itself down to 0.

Had another problem: 1st run was perfect
2nd and other runs is LAGGY.
Can't understand why T.T

Same issue - replicated it on another system and discovered the latest Steam Update is at fault. It resets in game volume to 0 for some reason.
