We are midway through the 24/25 football season and fans of the game have started switching to EA Sports FC 25 as their primary football game. Well, you too have been playing the game but the issue is that there is no commentary happening! What is the use of netting a blinder of a goal if the announcer cannot cheer in glory? That said, if you too are encountering the announcer bug in the game due to which there is no commentary, consider reading this guide for workarounds to fix the issue.
Most of you would say that this is just classic EA with their games being full of bugs and other issues.

EA Sports FC 25 Announcer Bug (No Commentary): Is there any fix yet
While there is no permanent fix for this issue yet, on the bright side, a community manager has responded to players reporting this issue. But apart from this, all the workarounds we have shared are mostly from players facing the same issue. So, here are those potential fixes that could bring back the voices of Derek Rae and Stewart Robson to the game!
Restart the Game and System
First of all, try restarting both the game and your system. Close the game completely, then restart your PC or console to refresh the system’s resources and potentially clear any minor errors. This could help reset the game’s audio settings and resolve issues with commentary or other sound elements.
Check Your Audio Devices
After a restart, check that your audio devices, such as speakers or headphones, are correctly connected and functioning. Make sure that all cables are securely plugged in, and if you’re using a wireless setup, verify the connection is stable. You can test the devices by playing audio through another application to confirm they’re working as expected.
Disable Menu Music During Gameplay Setting
To resolve the no commentary bug in EA Sports FC 25, you need to go to the settings menu, navigate to the Audio section, and locate the General Audio option. Within this menu, you should find the option to turn off the menu music during gameplay. Disabling this setting has been reported as an effective workaround to restore commentary during matches.
In-game Audio Settings
Next up, check the in-game sound settings to ensure that commentary is not disabled. There is an option to control Stadium Ambience where you can control the sounds in the game. Additionally, make sure that the necessary audio packs are downloaded (if needed), as missing files can lead to missing commentary or other audio glitches.
Community Manager suggested-fix
One of EA’s community managers recommended setting the audio output of your system to Stereo instead of any surround sound mode as a potential fix for audio issues in EA Sports FC 25. By switching to stereo, you might experience improved audio functionality and restore normal commentary during gameplay. This was also the most popular fix in the previous EA FC Sports game.
Update/Reinstall the Game
Sometimes, issues with commentary or sound can be addressed in patches released by the developers. Check for any available updates for EA Sports FC 25 through the game’s menu or platform (like the EA App, Steam, or console store). If an update is available, install it and then check whether the issue persists. And, if none of the solutions work, consider reinstalling the game. Uninstall EA Sports FC 25 and then reinstall it to ensure that all game files are properly installed and up to date.
