Okay, here is my blog post about fixing Valorant audio issues:
So, I’ve been playing a ton of Valorant lately, and man, it’s a blast. But a few days ago, I hopped on and bam, no sound. Total silence. It was super frustrating, especially when I’m trying to listen for those sneaky footsteps. It’s not just me. I saw some folks were talking about it too on the internet.
First, I double-checked my computer’s sound. Yep, everything else was working fine – music, videos, you name it. So, it was definitely a Valorant thing. I messed around with the in-game audio settings, turning things up and down, but still nothing. This is what most people were talking about on the internet.
Next up, I figured maybe my audio drivers were being a pain. Drivers are what make sure your computer and your hardware can talk to each other. So, I went to Device Manager and looked for my audio devices. Found them, right-clicked, and hit “Update driver.” I let Windows do its thing and search for the latest drivers online. It installed some updates, and I restarted my computer, just to be safe.
But guess what? Still no sound in Valorant. I was starting to lose it. I mean, playing without sound is like trying to eat soup with a fork. Then, I remembered something about graphics drivers sometimes messing with audio. So, I headed over to my graphics card’s website, found the latest drivers, and downloaded them. Installed those bad boys, rebooted again, and crossed my fingers.
Launched Valorant, held my breath, and boom! Sweet, sweet game sounds filled my ears. It was like a symphony after days of silence. I could hear everything again – the gunshots, the abilities, the agent chatter. It was glorious!
- Checked in-game audio settings.
- Updated audio drivers.
- Updated graphics drivers.
- Restarted computer a couple of times.
So, if you’re having audio problems in Valorant, don’t panic. Try updating your drivers, both audio and graphics. It might take a little fiddling, but it’s worth it to get back in the game with full sound. Trust me, hearing those footsteps can be the difference between victory and defeat!
