No worries, glad we've finally found the root cause. Please post an update when you have a solution that works. Whether it's the VoiceMeeter redirect, updating the firmware, updating the driver or something else. Thanks, Josh

I see from your audio devices you have VoiceMeeter installed. IIRC you can use that to route to a hardware audio device. It might require a bit of setup, but you could potentially use volume mixer to make SHAR's audio go through VoiceMeeter and have it route to your headset. Outside of that, I'd che...

They're not necessary, they were just to confirm your sound settings were changing. I would say to reinstall into a folder with write permission from the start if you're going to reinstall the game. As an odd test, could you try setting your output device to the MSI monitor? From looking at the spec...

No worries. Let's try the second R of the 3 R's of Windows tech support: 1. Retry 2. **Reboot** 3. Reinstall Could you try just rebooting your machine and seeing if it makes any difference. It is a hail mary, and I don't expect it to fix it, but also this is Windows and stranger things have happened...

Assuming your desktop has a front I/O headphone jack, do you have a pair of normal wired headphones (even something like earbuds) that you could plug in and swap to in order to test? Thanks, Josh

This is officially the weirdest bug I've ever encountered, so you can have that badge of honour if you'd like... I would like to apologise for all the messing about with no results, but this is definitely an odd one. I just realised I haven't confirmed yet, is this a desktop or a laptop? For the nex...

Ah, I meant to right click this file in your install folder: *Note: This is from your old screenshot from before you moved the install dir, so the path is wrong, but the file is right* !(https://img.proddy.xyz/Proddy/TbDzty3.png) Thanks, Josh

The unfortunate news now is you're on W11 Insider, and I don't know of anyone else on that version to compare updates against. My best guess is a Windows update somehow breaking part of the audio (which sounds insane to even type, but we've ruled out the game). To attempt to narrow it down, can you...

Can you confirm, has SHAR ever worked with audio and it only recently stopped, or is this your first time trying to play the game? Thanks, Josh

I think at this point we can rule out the game's audio settings then, as they're updating correctly. Next on the agenda then is assuming Windows has released an update that has once again broken SHAR. Could you run `winver` and upload a screenshot, and additionally search `View your Update History`...
