Audio issues

[Beekiller1998]

I have been trying to get audio to play properly for a few months now with no success, I have gotten to the point where I am throwing my hands up and giving up.

My problem is there is no sound being played in the game's launcher AND no sound being played in menu screen and in game. BUT and this is a big BUT there is audio being played during the special movie before the menu screen, therefore the game does recognize the right audio device to use (Ps4 controller connected via usb to my pc) no other game has this problem other than fallout 4.

A while back I did have mods when this issue began, but since that time I have tried multiple hard reinstalls, removing all local files for fallout 4, removing ALL mods, and going through steam to re verify those files and redownload them, but that didnt work either.

Is there a way for me to delete ALL info that steam has on my profile for my game, because I think it may have been a long ago mod that messed with something and caused this issue. I am open to all other avenues to try and resolve this, but I have no other ideas on what to do.

Thanks. Not a big deal. Discovered this with a different game years ago. Some games aren't recorded in high quality sound and for whatever reason higher settings seem to destroy the sound. Never found a tech answer to it at the time, haven't bothered to look for one since.

i have tried this, i've tried deleting and reinstalling, i've tried updating all drivers, setting sound to stereo, i've tried my controller's audio output, my speakers, and my tv. i've modified and updated all of them with every possible f***ing option and i just cannot get sound to play once the main menu hits.

PLEASE tell me there's another option.

Only other thing I can suggest is, do you ,or your system, change the sound settings "after" the game starts? I have found on 3 different computers that if you change the sound device after you start the game, there is no sound.
Example: if I start the game and then turn on my wireless headphones, there is no sound and nothing I do will turn the sound on. If I turn on my headphones and then boot the game, I have sound. If I turn off my headphones while the game is running the sound will not change to any other device and then there is no sound.
