Well, unless you already did, you can lower game volume, crank up system volume instead (doors may be super loud),

if that doesn't do it, check sound enhancements in device properties, check attenuation (windows can mute/lower volume when you are supposedly in a call),

Press Windows key+R to open Run then type: control mmsys.cpl sounds
Press Enter then select Communications tab
Select "Do nothing"
Click Apply then Ok

Could check if your inputs/outputs are okay in the Realtek driver or try this:

Could try to find a newer sound driver and update/re-install, update graphics driver for good measure.

If nothing helped, getting a Discord server with your friends might be quickest while hopefully it gets fixed soon.

the game automatically switched my default audio devices. try checking that in your window settings
