Al RamirezTry creating a new profile (windows account), log in and play. I had to do this while troubleshooting my own sound problems only for this game. Now I play from this new account that allows for sound. Seems profile specific in my case.

EdMine is similar, used to sound right but dropped a lot, not entirely. Fully cranked up in and out of game, I hear things quietly in Valheim, other Windows sounds are loud. Seems like about 75-80% loss, like a Windows suppression for voice that never cleared. Stays quiet through game quits and machine restarts.

raukgorthI have the same issue. Player.log says:
FMOD failed to get number of drivers ... : "Error initializing output device. " (60)
FMOD failed to get number of drivers ... : "Error initializing output device. " (60)
FMOD failed to initialize any audio devices, running on emulated software output with no sound. Please check your audio drivers and/or hardware for malfunction. -

BrettThis has happened to me as well. I am unsure about when it happened. Possibly two or three play sessions ago.
The game is completely silent.
This is happening across multiple devices. And No other audio issue is being detected. I can watch movies, play other games, use discord, and have multiple output devices operating at the same time. For example, I can have discord voice audio through my USB headset, and a Youtube or movie playing through my desktop audio.
I have attempted the following to try and correct it.
Verify correct sound output device,
Verify my sound drivers
Verify game files through steam
Uninstall and reinstall the game

BorisThis! i have this issue as well since a few days ago.
My game client freezes and when i go to task bar i can see something with my sound driver asking too much resources of my computer.
Sound stop playing completely. Sometimes the game itself is able to recover, however without sound.
All sound drivers ARE up to date.
Only happens with Valheim. -

Julesafter this last update the same thing happened to me. The game seems to default to my headphones sound instead of the speakers.

SteffenSame here. Since the update to 0.217.30 there is no sound at all.
Playing under Debian Testing. Sound works with other steam games and on the system in general, but not in valheim. -

There is currently a bug due to Unity engine update, where Valheim will switch your sound output device.
Until fixed, you can manually switch it back after Valheim launches, in Linux sounds settings.
