When connected to a device and then disconnecting that device (such as, say, wireless headphones that automatically switch off when folded up), sound is lost until the game is restarted, even if the same device is reconnected.


Steps to reproduce are implied, but it doesn't hurt to have then written down separately for convenience:
1) Connect an audio device.
2) Set that device as default output.
3) Start the game.
4) Disconnect that device and reconnect it.

Sound should be dead still, and remain that way until restarted.

Thanks for the report! This is a known issue; unfortunately a tricky one to fix.

Damn - had a feeling it'd be problematic to resolve, figured it was worth reporting anyways.

I need to restart the game cause of this, would be nice to fix but not urgent. Audio is always about dark ritual even in 2024 haha.
