Just installed and sound doesn't work.

[Auditry]

So, I just installed the game and every time I boot up the game, I get an error message. The game works fine I just get no sound. I already updated my drivers and tried looking into the issue but can't seem to find anything that helps. I'm also not the most tech savvy so I don't even know where to start on troubleshooting. Any help or advice is appreciated. I included a screenshot of the error message that pops up.

Hi @Auditry, welcome to the forums.

If you'd attach your logs there are better chances someone can look into this.

I hope this is all that y'all need. Let me know if there's anything else that would help.

Do you have multiple sound outputs (headphones, speakers)? Could you try to unplug the current one before starting the game and plug again after it started?

Sorry for the late reply. I use Bluetooth earbuds. Soundcore Aerofit to be exact. Whenever they're connected, there's 2 output options that pop up. a "stereo" option which gives clear audio, but I can't use them as a mic for voice chat. The other lets me use the mic but makes the audio kind of eh. I'll try to start the game then connect them and see if that fixes anything. If not, I'll try finding an old headset or something and go from there.
