There is no sound in the engine after the last update (UE4.26)

At first I thought it was an issue with my headphones, I removed them and checked in my computer “speakers” as output, and I was able to listen to UE4.26 (speakers only… not working with headphones), then after close and open the engine, to check if that might help, I get no sound at all, not even cues work with speakers or headphones at max volume.

I started verifying everything, all mi PC outputs (images attached), engine volume, checked the project setting and everything is fine, tested Winamp to verify it was not my computer, also played a movie, youtube, and either with “speakers (Realtek(R) Audio)” or “Headphones (Realtek(R) Audio)” the music coming from those, or even UE5 works, so I have no idea what is wrong with UE4.26, it is a software problem, and even If I go to the content and play any “cue”… there is no sound, also tried restarting my computer and E4 multiple times.

Here are my current settings, please help!

My computer outputs (working with any software, except for UE4)

For anyone having this issue.  
If you are certain the it is not an engine related issue, or related to your driver.

- Open Unreal Engine.
- **Press `Win + G`** to open the Xbox Game Bar.
- Click on **Audio (Speaker Icon)** and check if Unreal Engine is muted.
- Also, check the **Volume Mixer** (`Win + R`, type `sndvol`, press Enter) to ensure Unreal Engine isn’t muted.
