Battlefield 4 No Sound

The game plays amazing for me on a i7 2600k with 16 gig ddr3 corsair ram, OCZ Vertex 4 256gb ssd, and a AMD Radeon 6950 2GB Sapphire flex card (which is below specs game is calling for) on max settings. The surround sound doesn't seem to work properly which i am trying to resolve. My PC streams full Dolby 5.1 for everything but this game. Only in Battlefield. Battlefield 4 is the genre-defining action blockbuster made from moments that blur the line between game and glory. Fueled by the next-generation power and fidelity of Frostbite 3, Battlefield 4 provides a visceral, dramatic experience unlike any other. Only in Battlefield can you demolish the buildings shielding your enemy. Lately i have the issue that i have no sound at all in BF 4 on the PC. Not on the loading screen or in game. (no gun sounds, vehicles or running or talking.) i reinstalled the game, repaired the game, checked the sound options (they're all correct) en even switched them around. Some people say t. I've had an issue where I permanently have no sound. I've done a repair install and more and alas I still have no sound. The Official Battlefield 4 Subreddit.

It is really annoying. I have recently bought BF4 and am still playing campaign. Ever since I have had the game the sound does not work. I use headphones (standard beats solo v1) and I have gone into options and selected 'headphones' It still does not work. I have also noticed that whenever I start battlefield 4 my volume mutes. I know it is not my headphones or my computer, as I can play music from Spotify and YouTube videos just fine. It is only BF4's audio that doesn't work. Thanks if you can help!

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game? Have you tried going into your Windows OS Playback devices and selected Headphones as the playback device?

I have not tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and I would like to avoid that if possible. I have gone into my OS playback and nothing worked.

Battlefield 4 No Sound Pc

Does the BF4 sound work without the headphones? Do other games on your computer work with your headphones? You've triple checked the sound settings in BF4? Are you using HDMI because some games will default to using HDMI as the sound playback device.
See this thread for possible solution..

I don't have speakers so I don't really know. I think I have an HDMI. And yes I am in game right now and I checked the settings and I made sure to hit save.

Right click on your speaker icon in bottom right. select playback option. the icon that shows a pair of head phones on it ( disable it) hit OK and you should have audio. it worked for me. I seen it on youtube.

Edit1:
Seems this is a problem with bluetooth in general. I found the following article from the steam forums about bluetooth headset problems in GTA V. It might be worth a read to shed light on any problems your having.

Edit 2:
If you start Battlefield 4 on windows 10 and havnt disabled “handsfree telephony as below” all your sound will cut out.

Battlefield 4 No Sound

There’s a problem with Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 where you get no sound if your playing with a bluetooth headset. After a bit of googling and research i found the solution;

1. Goto; control panel->Hardware and Sound->Devices and Printers

2. Select Properties on your Bluetooth headset and go to the services section.

3. Uncheck “Handsfree Telephony”.
