Also having this issue and have tried everything I can think of such as making sure my default device is set properly and nothing seems to work.

I FOUND A SOLUTION FOR ME. I had my audio output set to Quadraphonic within the Control Panel. If you go to Control Panel > Change the "view by" in the top right to "Large Icons" > Sound > Right click your Audio device and select "Configure Speakers" > Set to Stereo. Once I did that I rebooted the game and the sound was working. I haven't tested any of the surround sound options to see if they work since stereo was the first I tried and it worked.

Thank you for that! I sure hope they patch the game to allow for multi channel audio instead of just stereo speakers. At least it's a work around for now.

Volume still doesn't work. This is not fun at all.

This solution works for me but I have to do this EVERY time I run the game in order to have sound.

Nope, this didn't work for me... Don't even have that option. Using a SteelSeries Arctic 7, wireless, and none of the options seem to bring up sound no matter what I do.

This is the answer here! Problem is, my headphones don't have this option (fancy surround sound gaming headset), so I had to bust out an older pair to make it work. Hopefully they'll fix/update this soon.
