No Sound - Valheim Only
Apparently, searching Google, many people have had this issue. There is no clear solution.
I loaded up the game one day and there is just no sound, at all, even in the menu screen. I've got a little over 20 hours into this and looking forward to playing more.
Other directX games work just fine. I did windows updates, steam files validations, uninstall the game and reinstall, even manually removed directX files and reinstalled directX. Loading the game with Vulcan also produces the same issue.
I am currently running Windows 10 64bit on a PC. Valheim Game Version 0.147.3
I REALLY WANT TO PLAY! Sound is kind of important for this game! And it's beautiful.
Devs, please help.

I can think of three things to check.
Is Valheim some how muted or turned way down in your volume mixer? Open Valheim, then open your volume mixer and check. Right click the speaker icon in your taskbar to open this.
Are you using the wrong sound option for your system in the sound settings? I've seen this happen before, somehow it got set incorrectly, but once I switched it back to my default it was fine. Go into sound settings, then look in the app volumes and device preferences while Valheim is running. You'll see the settings in the drop down boxes. It may have been changed somehow.
Check your antivirus, I've had them do some really weird stuff to games and knocking out the sound wouldn't surprise me. Make sure you're in the exceptions for the game. Do the same with the firewall.

Any luck?Yup. It was muted in the system tray sound options. Did you know you can mute individual apps? And it doesn't show in the system tray until you open up the sound settings again.

This just happened to me and Valheim is not muted. Neither my headset nor my speakers are picking up the sound.

Are other applications playing sound?
