Hi! @lolshade Can you please experiment with alternate outputs to see if it is just your SLYR. Some USB headphones allow you to connect directly through your headphone jack on your PC. Looking at the SLRY Pro website it seems a 3.5mm output is available.

no dice, the 3.5mm would be for console. its a usb output. tried other headphones 3.5mm and it didnt work also

I have the same problem, not a single sound device works, everything worked before the patch, reinstallation and everything in the message did not work

thanks @trava-cool - can please you adjust your Arctis 5 device to output 16 bits and then relaunch the game?

in windows on the headphones there is an output as in the screenshot, in the game it’s the same as what I wrote earlier.



I managed to fix it by installing a sonar

[SoundSystemLowLevel] SDL Audio Device: SteelSeries Sonar - Media (SteelSeries Sonar Virtual Audio Device) (status: 1, driver: wasapi)
[SoundSystemLowLevel] 2 channels, 32 bits per sample, 96000 Hz

[SoundSystem] 1: sounds\music\music_menu_lp.vsnd (80000004 :: 80000006) [43.8s]



I don’t think that this is the right fix for the problem; if you choose an old device, the problem remains. Perhaps the game can change the output to 16 bit?
