Windows No Game Audio After Updating to 1.6.10 (Wave Link)

[Ccaarrrllll]

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an audio issue in Stardew Valley since updating to the latest version 1.6.10 (build 24309). After the update, I'm unable to hear any game audio. I use Elgato Wave Link to route application sounds through different channels, and I’ve double-checked that everything is set up correctly. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

1. Triple-checked my Wave Link settings to ensure Stardew Valley is routed to the correct channel.
2. Restarted my PC multiple times.
3. Uninstalled all mods, so I’m now running a vanilla version of the game.
4. Reverted back to version 1.6.8 to test, and audio works perfectly through Wave Link on this version.

After reinstalling 1.6.10, the issue returned, with no audio output. I’m running Windows 10, and there are no error messages in-game, on Steam, or in my error logs folder.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Has anyone else experienced something similar with the 1.6.10 update?

Thanks!
