Hello, ever since patch 7 with a full clean install there is missing sound effects in the game not playing. Effects like sheathe/unsheathe, weapon hit impact sounds, really noticable using bow on a dummy target the arrow impact is completely silent, also the child Tieflings in the grove hitting the dummy having no sounds (though can't remember if they ever did). I've done a full clean wipe/install and even installed BG3 on a differen't PC thats never had the game on and the missing sound FX issue is still present. I tried changing sound bitrates and not running any spatial options or any fancy surrond options.
I've been playing since launch and this issue only started when I deicided to do a full clean install for patch 7. In the past people have reported and fixed the issue by deleting hotfix pak files but with a clean patch 7 install such pak files dont exist inside the data folder. After doing clean installs and trying a differen't machine I'm pretty sure it's an issue with patch 7 or a older bug thats come up since I did a fresh install and older files arn't there anymore which might of kept it working.
I've stopped playing for now as it killing my enjoyment, tried everything I can think of to fix it but I'm pretty sure this is a game bug issue. I seen a couple of people with the same issue on reddit but no fix is available other then the old workarounds that cannot be done anymore.
