Getting the following error when launching APEX - anyone know how to fix???
Couldn't initialize sound.
Please make sure you have a sound playback device that is enabled properly configured.

Community ManagerHey @fox_island_pete can you try the following, right-click on the Speaker icon on your desktop and select Playback Devices. From here open App Volume and Devices and under APEX Legends change the audio output settings to default and try the game again.

That doesn't work
Community ManagerAre you seeing the same error as the OP @MzBeIIatrix?
Darko
Exact same error, exact same incorrect hash.
Changing Sound Settings doesn't work.
No updates for any drivers needed.
Literally has sound when loading the Respawn logo/EA logo.
EA Desktop too, so no ability to try the other fix through the game properties which appears to be changing the language to Japanese and then changing it back to English.
Also, only seems to have happened with the newest release, I downloaded an update yesterday I assume for the Evolution Collection Event, but could access/play Apex before that forced a download. (Fun fact, also had to reset cache multiple times in the EA Desktop app because it thought the update had downloaded but froze at 100%. Had to force restart then clear cache then redownload to finally get the patch installing cleanly).
Same exact issue, what's going on EA??
I uninstalled the EA Desktop App and when I double-clicked on Apex Legends it reverted back to loading with Origin.
All problems have gone away.
Figure it out EA, you're a billion dollar company...wtf?
Yep @L00terMcGavin is right. Essentially, uninstall EA Play, then re-install Origin.
I then just clicked on the three dots for Apex and clicked Repair, and it looks like it downloaded some extra files. I haven't gone back to EA Play yet, simply as there's no games I want to get with the EA Play/Xbox Game Pass combo. But I imagine Repairing your Apex install then reinstalling EA Play instead of Origin should work.
The problem persists.
Thanks a lot to @L00terMcGavin and @th3tokenkiwi .
Uninstalled EA destop and reinstall origin fix the problem rght away without having to DL again the game.
Im really grateful, thanks mates 🙌
Bro thank you for this. I did it and haven’t had an issue since. You’re a true gentleman.
