Shortcut Target audio off issue

[zombie615 9]

Okay so I added to the target this line....

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -CPUCount:1 -intro:off -audio:off

 

Than I realized well maybe I want some sound in the game

 

So I deleted the -audio:off part an applied likewise

 

Q: How come I still don't have any sound? 

 

Note - I checked my audio settings in the game. Everything is set to where I should be able to hear the audio. I check my computer an the audio is not muted an the sound is actually turned all the way up just in case.

i also noticed that SC4 is sometimes acting strangely when using the commandline options. you could try to add -audio:on this, this helped for me.

When the game is running, Do an Alt-tab to go back to windows and check your volume levels in the sound mixer. Maybe SC is set to mute there.

Have you ever noticed a little file in your user area named SimCity 4.cfg?  The game remembers its last settings here.  The audio option is a toggle, and if you turn it off, it stays off unless you turn it on with -audio:on.  It is like a light switch in that it requires action to change it.
