    On desktops and laptops running 20H1 attached to a monitor or TV that include speakers, and are connected over HDMI or Displayport, games in your Steam library that use the Steam runtime may develop an issue where audio cuts out as the menu loads (audio is present in opening credits/AMVs). Audio in the rest of Windows works, including in browsers. I've seen this across three different computers. Two were laptops, one was a desktop. Different GPUs, processors, laptop vendors, yadda yadda.

    Expected behaviour: Sound, obviously.

    Cause: Old Realtek drivers, old GPU drivers

    Fix: Update to newfangled drivers that have WDDM 2.7 support, as well as newer audio drivers, I guess? This may also be cause enough to put a block on some 1909 systems that haven't upgraded yet.

    Posting here for awareness in case anyone else runs into the same issue. This was a weird one, and nothing in Windows logs or in the sound settings, or in the update panel, indicated that drivers may be the issue.

    I have also seen this with a system that had working sound, but was using the default Windows sound drivers for the onboard sound card.

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being part of Windows 10.

      installation file and select Properties then tap or click the

      OK.
    • Try installing the game and check.

    Step 2: Update Graphics Driver.

    Download the latest drivers from manufacturer's website, try to install them manually and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Expand Display Adapter.
    • Right click on the Display Adapter and click on
      Update driver software.
    • Click on Browse my computer for driver software and click on
      Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
