Can someone help me troubleshoot no sound issue?

[roldoi1911]

Suddenly my skyrim LE has no sound. I have headphones plugged in the USB port.

-tried unplugging, replugging and the other available USB ports, no changes.

-Skyrim has no sound flat out, not even the drums of the bethesda logo. No sound on menus or gameplay. Settings are untouched.

-not a mod issue, no changes in mods.

-other steam games work just fine, so does playing other videos/music.

-verified cache already.

-have tried restarting computer.

-skyrim default launcher still detects my specs.

-issue is present in both skse and default skyrim.

 

anyone have any ideas?

That will take a while, my skyrim is two hundred gbs. If its just vanilla files, i already verified cache.

Ok, i borrowed someones bluetooth earbuds. And it works, my skyrim has sound. So it has something to do with my headset. Not sure why its just skyrim though.

I found the issue. Somehow my headphones were muted, and I used the Windows+g keybind in game to unmute them. I think someone accidentally dropped something on my keyboard.

What a stupid suggestion.
