I got the same problem, gonna keep looking for the cause. Ill update if i find anything.

-Doesnt seem to be the wavelinks fault tho. Even if i put the games output to default and not "game channel" its still no sound.

FIXED(?)

I went through different options and found the esiest way was just to close down wavelink and put the Default output to my headphones, restart the game.

IF u want the sound to go through the wavelink system, i opend it up again.
Under windows "app volume" settings i set the output to Wave link system.
THO the sound then worked and i can see that the games sound came through the wavelink system it did not wanna go through the "game" channel.

I cant really figure out why this is, BUT as the sound comes through the system channel i can now use wavelink to controll the sound of the game.

Hope this helps

PS. Reinstalled the game before trying to find an alternative solution. (did not work)

At first I had an issue just having the sound going through my headset after I already had the game running and then plugged in my headset, couldn't figure it out till I restarted the game with the headset already plugged in. Not sure if this will help you guys but it worked for me so figured I'd share 😁

I'm also having this issue. I can hear the audio but its not coming through Wave Link Game Audio so therefore OBS won't pick it up.

Same issue here. Never had an issue hearing the game, but cannot get any of the wavelink inputs to pick up the game -_-

I guess the problem is that you cant pick the output ingame. Commented earlier for a solution for those who wants to stream with wavelink.

Hey all, so I was trying to sort this for about 2 hours, I had to go into my sound settings, and sound control panel while I had the game up, i had to click into game to see the sounds move and I could see which one was triggered by the game and I disabled it, mine was a 'speaker' then I could get it to work with my wave link, hope this helps

i changed in sound device setting quality to 16bit 44100Hz and it helped me to solve problm with some missed sound effects and bugs with sound when it was kinda broken
