Engine Error - Couldn't Initialize Sound

After the legacy update, I receive this error on startup of apex. I am running the game from the EA launcher. Does anyone have suggestions on a fix?

    @EA_Illium Hi. I am also having this problem after the legacy update. I'm also playing through EA Desktop and have the same error as @DATSUNEGO . Unfortunetly I can't find a repair game feature. I have tried several audio devices, the main one being bluetooth headphones. I also tried disabling all other devices, and made sure the apex audio preferences were set to default. Any advise would be great

    With the new Season 9 update, I can't launch the game because of an Engine Error..  The message it gives says:

    Couldn't initialize sound.

    please make sure you have sound playback device that is enables and properly configured.

    Failed in: MilesBankGetStatus

    Miles output follows:

    streaming source audio\ship\general_japanese_patch_1.mstr has incorrect hash - expected fc91e927 file has ebefd1be

    I reset my sound settings and I'm not sure what it means by playback device enabled because my headphones are set as my main output device.  What do I do?
