No audio in remote play, even if the parameters are correct.
Since yesterday, I have no audio in games when playing from Steam link, another PC or even an android device.
Some info:
- The host is my desktop, Windows 11 PC, it worked as usual until last week, but the only thing happened since is that the network cable on a switch when Steam Link is were disconnected, but I reconnected it and reset the switch since. Also: my laptop and the phone connect via wi-fi, before and after this.
- Audio isn't missing from a specific game, but all of them: in fact, the audio is missing on the big picture gallery as well.
- Audio in the remote play minibar is turned on and volume is 100%
- While streaming, I checked with alt+tab and the selected sound device is "Steam Streaming Speaker".
- Also, Steam Streaming Speaker is enabled and volume is 100%.
- On Host settings, Audio is set to "Stereo" and "Play audio on host" option is disabled.
- I also checked that Audio is "stereo" on all the client I tested it from.
- I already tried unpairing and pairing all the clients again.
- I updated my audio drivers and steam client. I don't know if there is a way to update the "Steam Streaming Speakers" directly tho.
- Windows is updated as well, and I updated it AFTER the problem started showing.
- I haven't tried if the problem is on remote play together too; I think I'll be able to give it a try this evening.
- If I keep chrome remote desktop connected to the host while streaming, I can hear the audio from there, even if the option for the audio on the host is switched off.

I put some screenshots here:

It's really weird, and all the other articles or thread I saw around didn't apply, because usually they say you should enable the audio device, put the volume at 100%, and set the client and host audio settings as it is already set in my configuration.
