Problem Description: Automobilista 2 doesn't allow any audio output , showing only "Audio Device: N/A" in the sound settings, and has no sound at all. Even though other outputs work normally on the system, the game still has no audio. Procedures already performed (without success):

1. Reinstall AMS2 via Steam

2. Uninstall all residual files manually:

* I deleted the Documents\Automobilista 2 folder

* Delete default.localsettings.v1.03.sav

* I removed folders in %AppData%, %LocalAppData% related to the game

3. I verified the integrity of the files via Steam

4. I tested:

* Sound output only via HDMI (Samsung TV) Samsung)

* P2 Headphones

* External USB

5. I updated audio drivers (Realtek, HDMI and NVIDIA HD Audio)

6. I disabled unused audio devices in Windows

7. Other Steam games work normally with audio

8. I restarted the PC several times after changes

9. I left and entered the game several times

* The problem started without any hardware or system changes.

* Steam starts normally, the game starts normally too, but the sound just won't come out, and there's no way to select another device in the menu.

* I checked the forum and found other similar cases, which suggests that there may be some persistent bug in the game's audio engine or a conflict with certain drivers.

I would like to request that Reiza analyze the problem and, if possible, provide a correction or detailed guidance, since the game was officially purchased and is currently unusable due to the complete absence of sound.
