Before we dive into the steps, it's important to note that turning off the speakers in-game won't mute the sound entirely. It will only redirect the audio to your headphones if they're connected. If you want to completely mute the game, you'll need to adjust your system's volume settings. Now, let's get started.

Understanding Your Audio Output Options

Before you proceed, it's crucial to understand your audio output options. Days Gone allows you to choose between your speakers and headphones as your primary audio output device. If you've connected headphones to your system, the game should automatically detect them and redirect the audio.

However, if the game doesn't detect your headphones or you prefer to manually switch between audio output devices, you can do so through the game's settings.

Checking Your Connected Devices

First, ensure that your headphones are properly connected to your system. If they're plugged in via a 3.5mm jack, make sure the connection is secure. If you're using wireless headphones, ensure they're paired and the volume is turned up.

You can check your connected devices in your system's sound settings. On Windows, right-click the volume icon in your taskbar and select "Sounds". On macOS, click the Apple menu and select "System Preferences", then click "Sound". Here, you should see your speakers and headphones listed. If your headphones aren't listed, try restarting them or your system.

If your headphones are connected but the game isn't redirecting the audio, you can manually switch the audio output in the game's settings.

1. Pause the game by pressing the Esc key or the corresponding button on your controller. 2. Select "Options" from the pause menu. 3. Navigate to the "Audio" tab. 4. Under "Speaker Configuration", select "Headphones" if they're listed. If not, try restarting the game or your system and check again.
