No sound using DirectX11, but do get sound using Vulkan?

Game was working fine upon first installing it. After playing for a bit I had to close and do RL stuff. Came back to play again and now no sound. DirectX11 has sound during title load screens then nothing after that. Vulkan does work. Why???

Developers have repeatedly stated that Vulkan is the preferred API. For some reason they left DX11 selected as the default. This is wrong and may be the reason a lot of people are having trouble, unfortunately - Larian didn't dedicated many resources to testing and optimizing for DX11 (at least, not as many as for Vulkan). Also, you can try Verifying Game Files in steam to make sure there are no corrupted files.
