Hi guys,
I'm having some issues with sounds in Half Life 2 Episode 2. Basically, almost all of the sounds are not playing. I can hear the background ambient sounds and some of the suit sounds "ammunition depleted" etc. The combine dying, and maybe a few other random sounds. I don't hear any gun sounds, footsteps or dialogue. Interetingly, when a scripted sequence is playing, the characters don't even move their mouths and just gesture.
Another example video here from rooftopville
I've tried a reinstall and validating the files in steam. The issue happens with both my speakers and my headphones, and I believe all my drivers are up to date.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this or how to solve it?
P.S What do you guys use to record video? Fraps limits me to 30 seconds, audio seems out of sync and lags the game to you know what!
