Question / Help No Ingame-Sound with CS:GO only.

[Voo_Doo]

Hey folks.

I've got a strange problem! In CS:GO, My video stream looks great, it's perfect. However, there's no acompanying in game audio, no guns/footsteps or anything. Just Myself/Teammates in an external chat program (TS, Mumble) or music I'm playing from youtube. In the volume mixer, CS:GO sometimes doesn't show at all, and when it does, it registers as always silent, no movement in audio, despite the fact I obviously hear it fine through my headset.

Hardware:

I5 2500k
GTX 670
Asus DGX Xonar
Sennheiser HD558
Antlion ModMic.

Other games, such as Wargame: Red Dragon work fine using the default settings. I can stream that, and viewers can hear both my mic, my friends and the ingame sound. I try CS:GO, and they only hear myself & teammates - the ingame is gone.

I have researched the topic and drawn no results. I've tried meddling with HF & GX in the Xonar DGX Audio Center, HF is always on, and GX was always off - I tried them all off, all on etc, no results. I saw someone mention enabling Stereo Mix - I couldn't quite work out what to do with it, so I figured I'd not touch it until someone with a bit more information could assist me.

If there's something I missed, feel free to ask and I'll provide as much information as possible, thanks!

Can you post your log? (Here's how)

The most important thing is to make sure GX mode is definitely OFF on the sound card.

It's definitely off - I've never had it on whilst I used the card normally. I'll get you that log now - https://gist.github.com/1a6d304496e720819bb9

EDIT - I just had a look at that log myself. I clocked, under sound, "Trying to hook process: aces.exe" - aces.exe is the War Thunder executable. Could that be relevant?

 

[dodgepong]

No, but that log is 1 week old, so it's probably form a time when you were capturing War Thunder. Try getting a more recent one.

 

[Voo_Doo]

Apologies - I thought the one at the top of the list would be the most recent. Here's the most recent one

Does OBS capture other things from the desktop audio? There isn't any known issue with that game, and the only time when xonars don't capture properly is when GX mode is enabled.

 

[Voo_Doo]

Hey Jim,

Yeah, other audio outputs like Teamspeak record fine whilst I stream CSGO. It's certainly strange!

 

[Voo_Doo]

Any other suggestions? Kinda sad I can't stream :(

 

[Lain]

Are you sure it's capturing any desktop audio? You're not like running certain sounds to your headset and then certain sounds to speaker are you?

If that's not the case and you have all sounds coming out of the xonar, and for some reason only CS:GO refuses to come out, then it still feels like GX mode or something is enabled. It's the only time when xonar cards don't function.

I just can't know without being in front of the computer otherwise.

I don't have any (physical) speakers. I only have my headphones, but the output has always been labelled as speakers. My headphones are plugged into the back of my Soundcard. Here's a picture -

http://www.twitch.tv/rpilks/b/537848939 - a link to a cs:go broadcast I did today. I start with no other audio sources but CS:GO. You don't hear anything. I play some music via youtube halfway through, which comes through fine, along with steam notification sounds.

I'd be happy to teamviewer or something if that made troubleshooting any easier.

 

[dodgepong]

Does it work if you use your built-in sound device instead of the dedicated sound card? I really seriously thing it's a Xonar issue.

 

[Voo_Doo]

I've tried it using my Mobo audio. I can confirm, that works fine. But, since my mobo doesn't have an amp, it's not as loud or as nice sounding as my Soundcard, which is pretty unfortunate.

Now that we've ruled it down to the soundcard.. what makes it not work with CS:GO, but work with other games!? I'm sure we're getting closer to fixing this :D

Hey, i have the same problem only with cs:go and have an asus xonar too. I tried to record with fraps and the problem still there. i will try to download "xonar audio center" (im not using it) so i can disable GX and HF mode. I found this thread where aparently worked https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/no-ingame-sound-in-cs-go.3765/
