Assassin’s Creed (AC) Odyssey – Audio Bug – No Voice And Other Sounds – How To Fix

It has been a while since Assassin’s Creed Odyssey launched and this title has proven itself to be one of the best Assassin’s Creed titles out there. The game offers a huge variety of features and people who are not even fans of the AC games would enjoy it as well. From beautiful environments to smooth combat system, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has all.

Though AC Odyssey came out almost 6 months ago, it still suffers from various bugs and glitches. And let us be honest, every AAA title these days is filled with bugs; one goes, and another one gets added. The bug we are focusing on here is related to in-game audio so we are calling it the ‘no audio bug’. What this bug does is it makes various sounds and voices in the game completely disappear. Players have been reporting that they are unable to hear many sounds in the background, voices during cutscenes and many more. Overall, audio is completely missing in a lot of areas.

The developers seem to be unaware of this issue as they have not talked about it anywhere. So, we thought of taking a look at this audio issue and come out with some fixes. Fortunately, we did come out with a couple of fixes but none of them is a guaranteed fix. Though they seem to be working most of the time. Here is how to fix no sound, voice or audio bug in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey:
