Question Lost All Audio From PSVR2. Please Help.

When I start Steam VR everything looks fine but all of a sudden today I have no audio through my PSVR2.

When I look at sound settings under Windows I can see the PSVR2 listed as:

PSVR2

2 High Definition Audio Device

Default Device

with a green check mark next to it, but when I try testing it I get no sound and the following error message:

Error! Failed to play test tone.

Under Device Manager I have an exclamation point next to the entry for Multimedia Audio Controller. It says there is no driver and when I select update driver it says there is no driver available ...

I double checked and my headphones are still plugged into the audio jack on the PSVR2.

I think I lost the audio driver or it got corrupted or something. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the PlaystationVR2 app but it made no difference. Same thing with uninstalling and reinstalling Steam VR

How do I get sound back?

Have you tried it through steam vr audio settings, either default or selecting the psvr2

Thanks for responding and yes I did try that. The problem is even when I selected the PSVR2 for audio, it could no longer produce sound. When I select it through the sound control panel and use the "test" button it just gives the error message I mentioned.

I tried using my PSVR2 with a different PC and it worked just fine. I think my Windows installation has become corrupted. I'm going just going to reinstall it and start from scratch.
