@Tea_Time_5656 Thank you that helped! After I deleted the "+miles_channels 2" the audio was always on 7.1 Surround. I could only change that to stereo/headphones when I set it to "+miles_channels 3".
Apex Legends is and will always be under construction. Always new errors.

Hi, i solved it as following:

  1. Start apex until you see the error screen,
  2. open windows sound settings
  3. go to advanced sound settings (far below)
  4. set the audio output and input of apex to standard
  5. restart the game
