No audio when hosting multiplayer games

[☨ Iris x germanica ☨]

As the title says, my audio cuts out as soon as I enable multiplayer and successfully connect to it. I have been able to play the game offline with no issues, and this is the only game that I have this issue.

I have already verified the game cache, played with settings in the control panel and in-game audio settings, as well as updating audio drivers for my devices. I'm hoping someone here can give me a solution before I try reinstalling the game again. Thanks!

If anyone else has been having the issue as well, I seem to have found the issue. For some reason SoD2 and multiplayer do not like Bluetooth headphones. Unfortunately I will have to use the audio port on my microphone as a workaround.

I´ve got the same problem! I can only use bluetooth headset in a normal campaign, but i have to turn off multiplayer also there! Is there any solution for this right now?

you quoted the 5 608 549 bug of this game, the devs are still trying to fix the first one and they will never have the talent.

its not a bug. Its a terrible windows audio device selection.

solution:
when in multiplayer open up the xbox gamebar (windows Key and G). At the bar at the top is a speaker symbol. Click that and you have to select your audio devices.
