Steam games have no sound.
I've seen some other Discussions with the same issue, but with no fix.
In short, all of my games on Steam produce no sound all of a sudden.
And the Volume Mixer doesn't show a green line that the sound is produced.

While games from other launchers, the sound in game work fine.
Be it Epic, Bnet, Origin ,Uplay, all their games work normal...

And the Steam Big Picture mode also has sound fyi...
