Hence workarounds are just that, and not solutions. It is a bug because the greatest majority of other games in the world work with those same sound cards and more importantly, FH3 and FMS7 both work with it too, so this is what in the development work is known as a regression. The solution is for FH4 to support analog output from those same cards. I upgraded to the latest Realtek drivers as suggested by someone in the Forzasupport Twitter feed.

The problem might have workarounds that are acceptable for some users (in my case, I just plug my headphones into my monitor, which gets audio from the Nvidia HD Audio driver via DisplayPort) Yes, the problem is probably isolated to a few sound cards, mostly on board with analog output, such as many Realtek ones. I did turn off my on-board audio in the bios… I honestly don’t know if that helped, but it didn’t hurt to turn that off I guess. Read comments to reboot and do other ‘enhancements’… I just rebooted the computer and it worked for me.

Got the game installed (Ultimate Edition) and when booted it up, only had sound in cutscenes.
