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.

Thank you I am using a GOXLR and was having this issue. I came across this post after reading numerous others that didn't quite fit my issue. but I opened up Apex as you said, had my windows volume mixer up, and as soon as the error came up a new program popped up in the mixer, I set that program to be my game sound as it was showing blank not set to route at all. Now my game is running as normal.
Thank you.
