Sound issue with Assassin's Creed

Ah there it is, I found out how to fix the sound bug in Assassin's Creed for those who have Vista!!

;o)

Just go to the control panel, sound.
You're on the playback tab, click on the speaker device, then configure.

All you have to do is switch to stereo instead of 5.1 or 7.1 and everything will work wonderfully.

Have fun ;o)

And for those who have Windows 7?

* If you are using a Realtek High Definition Audio, Soundmax HD Audio, or
nForce Audio card, you may encounter some sound anomalies. To
remedy this, open the Sounds and Audio Devices Control Panel in
Windows, click on the Audio tab, select Advanced Settings,
Performance, and move the slider to reduce Hardware Acceleration.

This is from the game's readme file.

Everything is here:

On a Windows Vista computer

1. Click on Start
Reduce this imageEnlarge this image
Start button
, on Control Panel, on Appearance and Personalization, on Personalization, on Display Settings, and then on Advanced Settings.
2. Click on the Troubleshoot tab, then on Change settings.

If prompted to enter an administrator password or confirm an operation, enter your password, or confirm the operation.
3. Move the Hardware Acceleration slider until it is just one notch to the right of None. This is the baseline acceleration setting.
4. Click OK twice, then close the window.

If the problem is resolved when you move the Hardware Acceleration slider to None or Basic acceleration functions, contact your hardware manufacturer to find out how to obtain and install the latest video driver for your graphics card.

If you have installed the latest video driver for your graphics card and display issues persist when the Hardware Acceleration slider is set to Full, repeat the steps in this article. However, move the Hardware Acceleration slider one notch to the left until the problem no longer occurs.

I heard that on XP the problem comes from Windows and that you just need to lower the audio settings...

my problem is that I'm on VISTA...

Hello,

This sound issue is quite well-known, so much so that in the README file on the Assassin's Creed DVD, it explains in one of the paragraphs how to resolve this small problem.

The file is there for a reason ^^

I buy the game, I install it and everything goes well except that... no sounds, no music, nothing right from the game's launch...
Moreover, when I return to the desktop to listen to music, there's no sound at all.
I then have to restart the computer to get the sound back.
I tried changing the settings mentioned earlier but nothing works...
If someone can help me, I would be happy to listen.

Hello, I also have a problem with the voices and I tried to do what Sonko19 said, but the problem is that it still doesn't work. So if someone knows why ^^ (I have Windows XP)
- Control Panel
- Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices
- Then Sounds and Audio Devices
- In the "Audio" tab under "Audio Playback," I clicked on "Advanced Settings," then the "Performance" tab and I reduced the hardware acceleration and the quality of conversion by one notch.

I have exactly the same problem except that I also don't have ambient sound but static.

If someone had a solution it would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

Hello.
Do you have your audio and video drivers updated?
Have you tried downloading the sound file from someone who doesn't have the problem and putting it on your PC?
The weasel always finds everything...ask her and you'll see.

I have the same problem... I updated my audio and video drivers, and I haven't noticed any difference, still the same issue... Any better ideas?

now we need to address this problem of Jerusalem

ah ok fadag I'll check that thanks I'll read the README files more often now :p

hi
So no solution for the sound issue in Assassin Creed??
I ALSO HAVE VISTA AND THERE'S STILL NO SOLUTION ??????
arrrggg !

And what do we do if we can't access "modify the settings" in the control panel :s. Does anyone know? Because I don't see how to do it, I've installed the new drivers and everything but it still doesn't work!! HELP!! ^^

Same problem as you, so I bought a Sound Blaster Live 24 bits sound card for 30 euros in Montgallet and it's great because the sound card in my computer apparently wasn't fully compatible.

Same for me, it’s boring.
