    I've tried everything to no avail. I have Acc and other sims and they all sound fine but this one started losing its sound about 3 weeks ago ...What gives? anyone had this issue?

    @dave967 Since all others are working fine ensure the settings within the game are set appropriately as you can fine tune how much of each sound is presented such as engine, tire, suspension, etc..

    Also checking the Windows Volume Mixer after starting up the game and adjusting the game volume Crew Chief, TeamSpeak or any other audio running may help.

    Nothing has changed in the game re sound so it must be something on your end.

    With respect, if it was the game we would have had more reports. I haven't seen anyone else report this as of yet.

    Well its almost done reinstalling. If it works fine I’ll know a file somehow got corrupted, which does happen sometimes..

    Ok so after the reinstall I got the same thing. But I found out the game was defaulting my sound to my monitor speaker’s hence the diminishing sound. I guess during the reinstall the game could only see the monitor speakers in my windows sound properties in the control panel. I Changed the default back to my to surround sound speakers and the sound is back to normal. What's weird is all my other games automatically default to my surround sound speakers not my monitor speakers..

    The game doesn't see speakers of any kind, windows pushes sound to wherever you tell it. So it was always a windows issue.
