Hello everyone,

Until two days ago, AoW III was working fine. It had sound and good graphics.

Now it only has good graphics, the sound is not working.


I've tried a bit of everything: launch the game in admin mode, check the volume and reinstalling my audio driver Realtek.

I haven't done the compatibility but I really don't think it's the root of the problem.


Does anyone have the solution ?

I'm running out of solutions and this is really doing my head in.


Thanks in advance for your messages :)

Bonjour Grayef,

What system do you have? (windows 10?) Did you recently update any of your drivers?

Bonjour Thereunto,

Thank you for replying to my message.

I'm on windows 10 yes and I don't remember updating my drivers recently. Sound worked fine on September 2nd but on September 6th it stopped working.

I get this message when I run AoW III in debug mode :

"Assertion failed: 'false'
Message: failed to setup sound system
Source\SESoundModule.cpp(35): (click to open)


I tried looking everywhere on the Internet but there's no solution, I don't know what to do :(

That sounds like it might be a c++ issue. I'm not sure if this (link) might help?

When you first installed, did you choose the normal install path for the files?

The first time, I installed it on the D hard drive .

Then I uninstalled it and put it on the C drive but the issue remains the same.

And now I just realized that Worms W.M.D doesnt work with sound either.


I'm out of solutions and C++ doesnt seem to solve any of it :/ .

Ok I fixed it by downloading realtek audio driver from the MSI website. It's the official one.

Thanks for all the help!
