Hi! This error indicates that the game audio has not been initialized for some reason. To fix it, try the following:
- First, try whitelisting the game folder and/or executable in your antivirus software if you haven't done so yet. Some programs like Avast or Windows Defender will sometimes interfere with the game startup and cause the audio to not initialize.
- If this doesn't work, run winsetup.exe, click on "Advanced" on the lower-right corner, and in the "Digital Sound" drop-down, change the audio device to "Default WaveOut Device" (this one seems to work for most people), "Default DirectSound Device", or "DirectSound (Hardware mixer)".
Let me know if this works for you!
