Windows 10: Forza Horizon 3 - Sound not working

Hello all, yesterday i was trying to play Forza Horizon 3, but sound played metallic, like electric static. Problem is that until now it was working well. Ive checked my devices and everything seems ok. The rest of the games do sound fine, it only happens with this one. Thanks

Forza Horizon 3 sounds not working

So a couple of days ago I got Forza Horizon 3, and Immediatly after getting into the game, I noticed that the sounds for the dialog were not working and that the engine sounds for many of the cars are not working. A few of the cars I have had trouble with
are the 2005 Lotus Elise, one of the Jaguars that came with the car pass, the 2016 Lamborghini Aventador, and the Acura NSX. Is there anything I can do to fix these problems or is Horizon 4 the only Horizon game with fully working sounds? I've kind of backed
off horizon 4 since the lego expansion which is what lead to me getting 3. If there is no way to fix the horizon 3 sounds, is it possible for me to use the sound files from forza horizon 4 in horizon 3?

I am going to admit, you are not the first to report of issues with installing Forza Horizon series of games on Windows 10. There doesn't seem to be a documented solution of works and doesn't work. I have recommended to users to downgrade to an older release
such as Windows 10 1703 and they report it works.
