If Split Fiction has no sound, distorted audio, or 3D audio issues, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Many players have reported problems with in-game audio settings not working properly. Here’s a simple troubleshooting guide that may be able to help you fix it.
1. Check In-Game Audio and Sound Settings
Sometimes, the game’s audio settings reset or don’t apply correctly.
Go to
Settings > Audio.Check Volume Levels – Make sure they aren’t set to zero.
Toggle 3D Audio Off/On – Some players have reported that 3D audio is bugged and won’t turn off. If the button doesn’t work, move on to the next steps.
2. Restart the Game & Your PC
Yes, it sounds basic, but restarting often fixes weird audio issues.
Close Split Fiction completely.
Restart your PC.
Relaunch the game and check the sound.
If it’s still not working, move to the next step.
3. Check Windows Sound Settings
Sometimes, Windows settings override the game’s audio.
Right-click the volume icon in the taskbar and select Sounds.
Go to the Playback tab.
Find your default audio device (your speakers or headphones).
Right-click > Set as Default Device (if it isn’t already).
Click Properties > Advanced and try different sound formats (e.g., 24-bit, 48,000 Hz).
Click Apply > OK and restart the game.
4. Disable Windows Spatial Sound (If Needed)
Some players have reported popping sounds when using 3D audio. If you want to disable it:
Right-click the volume icon in the taskbar.
Select Spatial Sound > Off.
If you want to use Windows Sonic for Headphones or Dolby Atmos, select one of those options instead.
5. Update Your Audio Drivers
Outdated or corrupted drivers can cause sound problems.
Press
Win + Xand select Device Manager.Expand Sound, Video, and Game Controllers.
Right-click your audio device and select Update Driver.
Choose Search automatically for drivers.
Restart your PC and check the game.
6. Check for Game Updates
Since Split Fiction has some known audio bugs, an update might fix it.
Open Steam and go to your Library.
Find Split Fiction, right-click it, and select Properties.
Under Updates, ensure "Always keep this game up to date" is selected.
Restart Steam and check if a patch is available.
7. Verify Integrity of Game Files
Missing or corrupted game files can cause audio issues.
Open Steam.
Go to your Library and right-click Split Fiction.
Select Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files.
Wait for Steam to scan and repair any broken files.
Restart the game and check if the sound works.
8. Check Your Output Device (For Headphones/Speakers)
If you're using Bluetooth headphones, USB speakers, or an external sound card, the game might not recognize them.
Unplug and reconnect your headphones/speakers.
Test the sound in another game or app.
If no sound plays anywhere, the issue may not be Split Fiction—try using a different audio port or device.
Final Blurb
If Split Fiction has no audio or 3D sound issues, try checking in-game settings, restarting your PC, and verifying your Windows audio setup. If nothing works, check for updates or verify game files. Hopefully, one of these fixes will bring back your sound!
