Sound has stopped working [FIXED]

[Macrophage]

After taking a long break from the game all sond has stopped working.
This is a common issue with no confirmed fix, I'm just posting to draw attention to this still unfixed issue.

This thread pointed out the problem. https://steamcommunity.com/app/413150/discussions/1/133255708300911341/
Strange that the game does that but I'm just glad I have audio again.

More information might help.

- Have you gotten new speakers since you last played?
- Do other games on Steam have volume? If not, stuff like Youtube or Netflix?
- Do you play with mods? Have you tried removing mods and verifying the game cache?
- Did you try unplugging and plugging in your speakers/headphones?

As for the music note in the top left(?) I think this only mutes the title screen? It's possible, although unlikely, your in-game options are set to silent. You can check your sound options in-game on the pause screen, it's a wrench of a cogwheel icon I assume.

Thanks for responding.

This is the only game affected.
I've checked my sound settings in game.
I've tried changing Windows sound settings but none work for Stardew Valley.
I've tried verifying game cache and reinstalling the game.

Also, I use Windows 10.

I use Audio on my tv, a portable speaker, and via a Yamaha amp via my iPhone (one at a time, depending on how I feel). It was not always so complicated. In any event StarDew gets confused and drops sound, even when ie Youtube has it. I am running Ubuntu on home pc. SV via Steam. I usually reboot game, reboot Steam, reboot computer, fiddle with Ubuntu sound control, unplug speakers, fiddle wires, get some coffee, reboot everything again. Then at some point it works. Then I am out of time and cannot get through an entire "day" in SD. Oh. Have to go get the kids from school...no time for Stardew now. :)
