When i launch the game it shows me a tab that says that cant find MP3 DMO decoder, and in game i only can hear the voices of the units, and the clicks on the tabs nothing more, no music, i already installed k-lite last codecs, vlc codecs, and all sort of codec pack, but still with the same issue, also reinstalled the game and have the same issue. With all other games i dont have any sound problems so dont know what it might be, im playing on steam platform. ---

Hey there @Arngrim560, Can you please try reinstalling the Windows Media Features Pack? Steps are on this article.

I am having the same issue, but when i go to install the windows media feature pack it is giving me an error that the update is not applicable on my computer. I checked and am running windows 10 pro N so i’m not sure what else i can do. ---

I had the same issue first of all you need to know exactly what version of windows you have, for that press the windows key + R and write winver (in my case was windows 10 N pro 2004 version) there you can see the version of your windows 10, after that in this page [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack) you need to go to the link in the quote that says " Select your version of Windows from the dropdown list below. If your version does not appear in the list, please go to [KB3145500](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3145500) to find the appropriate Media Feature Pack for your version of Windows." the link is [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3145500/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3145500/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions) select your version of windows and install it. ---
