Posted September 27, 2018 About 1 in 3 times I log in to any server, I don't have any sound. Sometimes I'll log in multiple times and not get sound. But then I log in again and all is as it should be, without my changing anything. Sometimes a Steam reboot helps, but often it doesn't. Can anyone help me fix this?

Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Sometimes wurm is really finicky about hardware acceleration vs software, try switching that in options (to whatever one it is NOT on) I think switching mine to SOFTWARE was what finally fixed mine Edited October 7, 2018 by Brash_Endeavors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me, it did stop the problem with no sound, but the sound quality was so bad that I ended up going back to Hardware setting. With the Software setting, I could no longer hear any footsteps, and many other sounds were difficult to make out despite my sound settings. So, I'm back to the same problem as before.

Your log file made think about the problem that I had too. I went to the google searching for OpenAl, I downloaded the Windows Installer and installed the library. It solved the problem of start without sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
