Windows 10: 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.
