Community ManagerHey @JONATHAN0S.
Just a heads up, I moved this over to the Apex Legends tech issues board. Can you check something for me? Start up Apex Legends and keep the error message open when it pops up. We'll need to have the app running for this.
With Apex Legends still "running" right-click on the volume icon on your Windows task bar and click on Open Sound Settings. Look for the App Volume and Device Preferences under the Advanced Sound Options and click on that. Look for Apex Legends under the list of apps there. Try changing the audio output settings for the game to Default there. Restart the game after that and see if it starts up for you.

Hi, I'm having the same issue, and with the workaround i get another error:
---------------------------
Engine Error

(7.896) Couldn't intialize sound.
Please make sure you have a sound playback device that is enabled and properly configured.
Failed in: MilesDriverCreate
Miles output follows:
Audio Hardware Error: Failed to initialize IAudioClient (shared, event mode, float, chans=2, rate=44100, HR=AUDCLNT_E_DEVICE_IN_USE)
Failed to initialized WASAPI audio hardware, trying XAudio.
Couldn't create XAudio2 master voice.
Hello, I think I have a fix for it if you made your in-game character voice lines Japanese and everything else was in English the do the same method what you did to make the charecters to speak Japanese and it should fix it. Worked for me 🙂
-LINIXHi, just wondering if you ever found a fix to this as I've the same problem
