I have this "couldn't initialize sound." error as well. It only happens when I am using VB-Voicemeeter Banana. This is the third-party audio software I use for my microphone. There is a "Hardware Out" option in this program and it uses the same playback device (default device) as Apex would use. My Astro headphones. Again only happens when the VB program is running. Any help would be appreciated as I highly value VB and the mic quality it provides me and I love Apex too. Just want them to work in tandem. 😉

EDIT: Have tried all troubleshooting methods I could find in my research. Restarted PC, restarted game, reinstalled, repaired via Origin launcher, unplugged my peripherals, literally everything I could think of.

Community ManagerHey @Reactixn.
If it's only happening when you're running that particular program it might be an issue with compatibility. Unfortunately our options for troubleshooting potential issues with third-party software are pretty limited.
It might be best to reach out to the creator of that software to see if they have any insight on what could be causing the issue. They may have some suggestions on how to fix it as well.

@EA_Kent I am having an issue with my game. The game will play the opening sequence, but will not load past that. It then pops an error code saying that it could not play audio and crashed. Please reach out, any help is much appreciated.
