Audio commentary gone on PC (RIP Jeff)

Recommended Posts

I preloaded the game and everything works fine except for the audio commentary at the intro, the characters talking in cutscenes and Jeff mid race are missing. Subtitles work, but it's hard to read that while driving 300km/h. The game sound works well and gets quieter whenever Jeff tries to say something. Appears both in quick races and carreer.
Setup: ASrock Z77M, i5 2500k, r9 380, 8GB RAM, installed on a HDD

Is your system output set to stereo?

Also, make sure your radio output is set to main device.

- Body is 4 characters too short.

I have a 5.1 system. I switched it to stereo in the windows settings and commentary works now... Ingame settings still on 5.1.  Is there anyway I can get it working on 5.1, not just 2 boxes?

Also, make sure your radio output is set to main device.
How can I change the radio output device? Do you mean the main audio device selection ingame? It is set to 5.1(auto), but changing it to stereo doesn't change anything.

Btw: Steam discussion with more poeple having the problem:

Check the device software, too. I have an ASUS Xonar sound card and the software and driver that you install with it control loads of stuff, including output configurations and bit rates, et al.

While checking the Realtek sounddriver settings, I recognized that all my settings were set back to default, probably by the windows 10 anniversial update I did 2 days before. Switching center and subwoofer output like it's used to be did the trick for me.
Thanks for your help, it's an awesome game right now ;)

I know Windows 10 Anniversary Update to be the culprit in many an issue these days...

No, I haven't installed the Anniversary Update...

Is this still an issue or did David resolve it for you?
