No sound from game, not showing in the Volume Mixer

Hello Team,

I've just encountered an issue wherein the game is no longer producing any sound whatsoever. After looking at the Sound Mixer to see if maybe the game was routing to the wrong device, I realized that the game simply does not show in the Sound Mixer whatsoever.

I run this game on Windows 11, with the latest update, and I've attempted various workarounds, such as disabling gamepad sound, restarting the game and my computer, as well as switching from Full-Screen to Borderless and regular Windowed then restarting the game. No solution so far have fixed this issue, and I have yet to see the game appear in the volume mixer again.

Would someone be able to assist me in this? I'll next attempt to do a full reinstallation of the game if nothing else works.

Regards,

I have now attempted to completely reinstall the game, and this has not solved the issue, as the game still does not produce any sound, and does not even show on the Sound Mixer.

I have the exact same problem, the fact that no one answered is sad. I sent a message to the support, waiting

I am also having the same issues. Took the same steps and still nothing. Everything was fine a week ago and now it will not show or play sound.

Greetings Keyaira!
