No Sound When I Play Skyrim?!

I just bought the CD copy of Skyrim yesterday, installed it, and there was no sound in-game except for the Bethesda logo. My graphics drivers are up-to-date as far as I know, my system specs meet the requirements, my sound drivers are up-to-date, and I even have my audio on the lowest possible settings ( 16 bit, 44100 Hz).

Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated.

I had a problem with sound before, I fixed it by chaning the audio quality to 16 bit, 48000 Hz. I don't know why it fixed it, but it did. If its on anything else, it doesn't have sound for me.

Changing it is pretty easy too,
Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Select your sound device > Properties > Advanced

Hope it works for you

He wasn't talking about you man. It was the person above you. Lol.

I have the steam copy of this game and I had this issue that you guys point out that is for illegal copies

I imagine its a problem with all copies. And some people who happened to have an illegal copy, were complaining about it too, on a place where you can download the illegal copy, that you must have been looking at

Like I said, I purchased a hard copy of the disc at GameStop, and of course it runs and installs through Steam (which I hate). But I still haven't figured out what to do, and on top of that I can't download DirectX End-User Runtimes, but come up with an error message. I honestly have no clue what to do at this point, this is ridiculous that Bethesda would allow this to happen at such a huge scale.

Well i believe this is the best answer on the web at the moment i have been researching this for some time now.....I have been struggling with a sound issue on some games i have had sound on before..Its not a direct x problem not a driver problem or hardware problem in my case. It was a software install of my own action that caused this problem....when you install any audio or video capturing or recording software you have option to install there device driver software....my issue was with leawo music recorder and apowersoft video downloader...Both of witch install audio device drivers witch inturn when i was booting into a game those drivers would take over like i was recording the video or audio when you install a audio or video capturing software you will switch to those drivers taking the sound from you r game passing it through that program...I had even shut thees device drivers off thinking it that was my problem in the beginning but still no sound......Here is your answer unistall those extra device drivers leaving just your driver install for your sound card EXT...or unistall your recording software.I uninstalled the drivers only all my games are back to normal i hope this helps.........Thank You Sorry for the long story..lol
