Technical Support

I'm not sure if Voice Meeter is the cause (I can't disable it on my computer and still use sound due to how I route sound), but either Ryzom isn't producing any sound or Voice Meeter is causing a sound problem, and thought to ask the community if they had any ideas.

In the past, I did ask in Universe and went through what people at the time had thought of, but am posting here, then posting a support ticket.

Bonjour, dans le lanceur ryztart, en bas a gauche, boule bleu-vert il y a une partie configuration, divers pilotes de sons sont disponibles.
Si celui par défaut ne fonctionne pas, essayer un autre?

I've tried all five options, OpenAL and FMod crash the client, XAudio2 DirectSound and Auto fail to create the Sound Manager.

Use OpenAL or XAudio2. Do not use DirectSound or FMod.

Unfortantly, either option provide the same lack of audio.

Found the problem.

I was using the WDM driver for windows. Which locks to the first thing that uses it.

Changing the driver from WDM to MME, now lets me hear game sounds.
