Engine Error, Can't Initialize sound, Couldn't create XAudio2 Master voice. Help please.

[Zarkan]

Ever since the new update I keep getting an error when I try to load the apex.
Couldn't initialize sound. Failed in MilesDriverCreate. Couldn't create Xaudio2 mater voice.

I've tried repairing / uninstalling apex several times. I've wiped all of my audio drivers and reinstalled / updated them and nothing is working. I've tried a few things in these discussions that ppl said would work and they haven't. If anyone knows a way to fix this I would be ever so grateful to them. I have over 600 hours in this game and this is the first time I've had any issues.

Same problem. Tried reinstalling, verifying game files, changing to 41000 hz, reinstalling GPU drivers, reinstalling audio drivers - still can't launch.

are u guys using any audio start up commands for apex like +miles_channels ?
this causes game crashes on start up.
u have to start the game without these commands for now because it's broken since S15.

Are you referring to the one where we need to go to the properties and remove those lines?

Hi guys, same problem. I want to know if you have realtek sound driver installed?

[NaturalBornPsycho]

Yes, i have a Realtek Onboard Soundcard

Steam says: -> actualised gamecontents on 05.11.2022 5.45 am datetime. Maybe an Update is responsible for this?

I've been looking for a solution to the problem for 5-6 hours already, reinstalled everything that is possible, I read somewhere that anti-cheat with realtek can interfere with each other. But the problem appeared only today, before that everything worked.
