Title: Soundless
Post by: ripmemes on December 05, 2018, 08:58:33 am
Greetings everyone, I've been facing an issue since the past two weeks and I did everything but nothing worked;
whenever I open my vice city, I can only hear the ambience, none of SFX effects, cutscenes, radio stations work even though the audio folder is untouched, I downloaded the same folder from a trustworthy source, but didn't work, I can only hear the sound of water or the city ambience. I'd like to hear your opinion about this problem so I can fix it because in fact, playing vice city without sound is a pain in the arse.

EDIT: Cutscenes and radio work, just tested them now, but SFX still doesn't.
2xEDIT: changed audio hardware option to "rad game tools RSX 3d audio" the game lags a bit but I will think I will get
used to it since sounds work.
3xEDIT: GTA3 works fine and I don't want to stick to RAD because it literally sucks.

Already did, I even deleted "gta-vc_set" or something like that. The problem seems to be related to audio driver, but there is no hardware problem fortunately, I have doubts that it has relation to some new program installed by my father called "reimage PC repair" The program itself says that "gta-vc.exe" is a malware  :D
I am going to do some tweaks to it and see if it works.
EDIT: deleted the program, didn't work

Maybe "reimage PC repair" deleted your some files from VC & still it's deleting because PC repair thinks its a malware.

The audio folder is untouched, checked it by myself and even downloaded another VC legit copy from some GTAForums friends , didn't work. It is an audio driver problem (hardware is fine, the problem is in the game) I think it is because of a corrupted OS, I'll see if I can recover in XP.

I'd like an expert reply rather than useless QnA. I'd be grateful too if you hurry up answering me.

Yeah, if you used your brain before and looked it up in google, you won't get useless QnA.

Actually I searched in google for 3 hours, found nothing, asked my GTAForums and so, they told me this is the first time they encounter a problem like this and then someone (probably a rockstar employee) helped me and gave me this link.
Indeed, it was a useless QnA as I kept repeating the same thing over and over...
