No sound at all in editor/playtest?

[Yoraee]

Hello! I'm really not sure what's the cause of this. Maybe someone can help me?

I can't hear any audio from the MV editor anymore. No music or sound effects. I tried loading a fresh project and its the same issue.

There is proper audio when the projects are deployed, but the editor is completely mute!

Any tips on what to look for are highly appreciated!

This might seem like an obvious check, so you might have already done it. Have you checked your volume mixer to make sure that the levels are set correctly and that your playtest is trying to play through the correct playback device?

I have ran into this problem a couple times before as well; I noticed it generally happens after leaving RPG Maker open for an extended period of time. Any time I've ran into the problem, a system restart was able to resolve the issue. Not entirely sure what causes the problem, but I hope that helps out.

Sorry for the late response. I reset my sound mixer and the issue was resolved. I believe this was caused by a recent Windows update. Its all good now. Thank you for your responses, guys!

Very possible. Windows updates can mess up things a lot lol (that Windows patch that deleted users files lol).

Glad to know the issue wasn't with RPG Maker itself.
