If Marvel Rivals has no sound while the rest of your PC audio works fine, you’re not alone. Some players have reported sound cutting out, missing game audio, or issues after an update. Here’s a simple troubleshooting guide to hopefully help you fix it.

1. Check In-Game Audio Settings

Before trying anything complex, make sure the game isn’t muted:

• Go to Settings > Audio.

• Check that Master Volume and SFX Volume aren’t set to zero.

• If you’re using headphones, make sure the correct output device is selected.

• Toggle 3D/Spatial Audio Off/On (if available).

If everything looks fine, but there’s still no sound, move on to the next steps.

2. Restart the Game & Your PC

A simple restart often fixes sound bugs.

• Close Marvel Rivals completely.

• Restart your PC.

• Relaunch the game and check if the audio works.

If the issue persists, move to the next fix.

3. Check Windows Sound Settings

Sometimes, Windows defaults to the wrong audio device.

1. Right-click the sound icon in the taskbar.

2. Select Sound Settings.

3. Under Output, ensure your headphones or speakers are selected.

4. Click Properties, then go to Advanced and test different formats (e.g., 24-bit, 48,000 Hz).

5. Click Apply > OK and restart the game.

4. Test Another Audio Output

If you’re using headphones, try switching to your monitor speakers or another audio device:

• Open Sound Settings (Win + I > Sound).

• Under Output Device, switch to another available option.

• Relaunch Marvel Rivals and check if the sound works.

If switching devices doesn’t work, move on to updating your drivers.

5. Update Your Audio Drivers

Outdated drivers can cause no sound issues.

1. Press Win + X and select Device Manager.

2. Expand Sound, Video, and Game Controllers.

3. Right-click your audio device and select Update Driver.

4. Choose Search automatically for drivers.

5. Restart your PC and check the game.

6. Verify Integrity of Game Files (Steam Users)

Corrupt or missing game files can cause audio issues.

1. Open Steam and go to your Library.

2. Right-click Marvel Rivals and select Properties.

3. Under Installed Files, click Verify Integrity of Game Files.

4. Wait for Steam to scan and fix missing files.

5. Restart the game and check the sound.

7. Disable Windows Spatial Sound (If Needed)

If Marvel Rivals supports 3D audio but it’s buggy, try turning it off:

1. Right-click the sound icon in the taskbar.

2. Select Spatial Sound > Off.

3. Restart the game and see if the audio returns.

If you want to use Windows Sonic for Headphones or Dolby Atmos, enable it in the same menu.

Final Blurb

If Marvel Rivals has no sound, start by checking game settings, Windows sound settings, and updating drivers. If that doesn’t work, verify game files and try another audio output. Hopefully, one of these fixes gets your audio working again!
