Hmm... since everything besides Valheim is working as intended and the problem is there with multiple devices then the only thing that comes to mind is that there's something conflicting between the game and your laptops audio soft/hardware. I admit it's a really weird sounding problem but laptops tend to be notorious for having weird issues that aren't present on other machines. It's the biggest reason I hate troubleshooting laptops, what works on one of them probably won't on another.

Might be that it gets solved on some update later on, but sucks to have to wait for that. Can't really think what else to try though, outside an external usb soundcard I guess, sorry. =/

Thanks for trying to help. Yeah I feared it might be the case. It's just massively frustrating as I don't hear about this being spoken very often, and I enjoy hearing what's around me during game play. I'm at a severe disadvantage lol.

Yeah, audio is a pretty big part of gaming so it sucks big time not to have it. Also I think you might really be one of only hand fullnof people to even come across this issue. You might want to give a try at contacting the devs directly or going to the bug tracker https://valheimbugs.featureupvote.com/
to report it.
