The point of this thread is to know whether or not it's possible to render those pointers clickable so the game can play the lacking sounds as well, since they seem to be mute in the pic. They're probably not, otherwise I'd be hearing the lacking sounds in Skyrim. The thing is: I don't know if they're really maxed-out since they're greyed. But the Front, Rear, Subwoofer, Center and Side (in the volume's panel) pointers are unclickable even though they're maxed out.

I could fix it if it wasn't for something.Īs you can see in this picture (sorry for the foreign language, it's impossible to change XP's language settings once it's been installed) I set my computer the same way another person would, should that person have a 5.1 sound system. The thing is that I MIGHT know what's causing all this. Set XP's sound thingie to 5.1 as well as Realtek's software (see picture) (I was clueless enough to give it a try, you never know) Here's the list of things I've already attempted hoping to solve the problem. According to my Google searches, this driver has some huge incompatibilities with Skyrim and it's hindering playing the game for some by a huge lot. Footsteps, weapons' swinging and hitting sounds and environment sounds are either non-existent or are set to REALLY low volumes. Now I only hear voices and background music.


In the very beginning the game itself was thoroughly mute but then after googling some things I ended up in Microsoft's website and downloaded a DirectX thing which solved my problem partially. The problem I'm having with Skyrim has very little to do with the other problems that people have been having.
