Had this same issue when first installing the full install. Had deleted EA according to the Larian recommendations, in order, fully. Still, Splash screen sound, then no sound once the game started up.

When I Started the game from within Steam there was an "issue/error" pop-up.

If you get that, click on the 'open folder' option.

I had the following showing:

Version: 4.1.1.3622274 Platform: steam
-------------------------
Altered/Added files 2
Data\Minimaps.pak
Data\Patch9_HF1.pak
-------------------------
Files in Mods folder 0

I searched for and deleted the Minimap and Patch9_HF1 files...resolved! No crashes/issues since. If you see any Altered or Added files, find and destroy!
