APEX Mutes My Entire Win 10 System

A few seconds after entering the lobby, the entire system loses audio.

I think an update in Anticheat disables the Creative Audio Driver.

I've always used an OLD Soundblaster sound card without any problems.

As of today, June 2, 2025, I lose audio a few seconds after entering the lobby. I have to restart the PC to get the audio back.

All other games and applications work fine.

    I think that for me and many other people who value their comfort and sound quality in games, this means only one thing - it's time to say goodbye to this game and find a team of developers who respect their users.

    It's a side effect. In their eagerness to catch cheaters, they don't care since only a few of us are affected.

     It seems to also affect some Wi-Fi cards.

    Anyway, it's no reason to say "goodbye." Something truly demotivating is the absurd balance of legends and weapons. It means you don't need skill to play. Skilled players like Aceu, who previously dominated, can now barely shine in the gameplay. This game doesn't reward your knowledge or the time you put into it. Have you seen the ridiculous Overpower changes for the next update?

    The big problem is that "it's time to say goodbye to this game and find a team of developers who respect their users" isn't really a viable solution. Because it's an EAC update to counter DMA cheats, and this update will likely arrive on all games that are protected by EAC.
