CS2 crashing when changing audio device HELP

[Rye]

I changed my audio device once. Had no sound, tried to go back to the other device but is now crashing every time. Essentially have 0 sound now.

I use voicemeeter and the way I fixed it is turn on CS GO, use command sound_device_list, get the id of the device you want to use, go to steam/userdata/"id"/730/local/cfg, open cs2_machine_convars.vcfg (I used VScode for that), find sound_device_override and put your device ID in the "" (device ID should be everything in square brackets in device list but without the square brackets). Hope it helps as you no longer need to reset your settings :D

For anyone that's having this issue but doesn't have CSGO, you can get the device ID from device manager.

1) Search for "Device Manager" in the windows start menu (You can also press Win key + R, then type devmgmt.msc).
2) Expand "Audio inputs and ouputs"
3) Right click the audio output you want CS2 to use and select "Properties"
4) Under the details tab, open the "Property" dropdown and select "Device Instance Path"
5) You should see a string like "SWD\MMDEVAPI\{0.0.0.00000000}.{ D6CC8FD4-7BB4-4825-818B-86F2ED3A4978}"

The last part inside curly braces is the device ID, this is the one you must set as the sound_device_overridevalue in the steam/userdata/"id"/730/local/cfg/ cs2_machine_convars.vcfg file.

It should look something like this

"config"
{
	"convars"
	{
		"sound_device_override" "D6CC8FD4-7BB4-4825-818B-86F2ED3A4978"
                ...
         }
}

Same issue. First it played on my lineberg audio interface then it’s switches over to my laptop sound. When I try to change the audio settings it crashes.

Have you tried this?

Yes, I just deleted the 730 map and that seems to fix the problem! :) Thanks!!

(FIXED IT BY PLAYING A DEATHMATCH WITH NO SOUND AND THEN SWITCHING AUDIO DEVICES AND IT FIXED) VERY WEIRD BUT IT WORKED FOR ME.

It still happens, and it's especially frustrating when it happens during a game. I need to restart CS2 right away by making task manager always on top lmao.

Yip, it is when I plug my headset in after the game launches, then change Audio Device to "Headphones" in settings. It completely freezes the game and I have to sign out of Windows to kill the CS2.exe

Thank you so much. If anyone cannot find "sound_device_override" inside the file, open CS2 and run the command: sound_device_override "your ID"
