No sound after startup :(

[dyiing]

My GTA will play the "glass smashing" sound on startup, but after that, nothing. This happened a week ago, but I managed to fix it somehow. Now I can't. Happened right after a Windows update seemingly.. worked 10 mins ago.

These are all the things that I have already tried:

• Deleting x3D files from system32 & sysWOW64
  
• Reinstalling DirectX
  
• Resetting Audio Settings (i think this fixed it last time)
  
• Entirely restarting Steam
  
• Restarting the computer
  
• Check my Nvidia drivers are updated (idk just in case)

I know for a fact it's not my headset, because everything else works, and I hear the glass smashing. I'm not planning to reinstall the game, as I'm certain that's not the problem, and it would be a waste of time.

ETA: In the Sound Mixer, both the rockstar launcher & GTAV are unmuted. I can SEE the green sound bar moving up and down with the music, but can't hear anything.

Any help would be appreciated, as I tried all the solutions on google yet none have worked yet :(

I was having this problem as well. What fixes it for me is on the main menu, under settings, to scroll past the online chatting menu option. I don't have to change anything, as soon as I go to that tab the sound just pops in. It's worked a few times so far.

I have the exact same problem. I can't believe Rockstar breaks their games with their updates so often. I spent months with no sound in RDR2 because of one of their updates, and now LITERALLY THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM is happening in GTA V, and i have no doubt it will be several months before they fix it IF IT EVER GETS FIXED! I can't believe I keep buying their games..........

Also, I only play single player, so I can't use the above fix...the game is now useless to me.

Actually, I just tried again, and clicked on "voice chat", and it magically started working again, thank you for the fix
