    All Background Sound Muted While Playing Division 2 Private Beta [No Sounds]

    Problem: When I launch D2 PB, I can hear the game just fine, but I cannot hear any other sounds on my computer. (IE: Chrome, Youtube, Discord, Spotify, any other media, Etc)
    All background sounds completely cut off unless I close the game.

    I have the same issue in Division as well. Which is still downloaded today and I still play it.
    Every other game I play (GTAV, BO4, Ring of Elysium, Warframe, SWTOR, All Assassins Creed Games), they all work fine.

    Since I do YouTube and stream from time to time, I invested into a XLR Cardioid Microphone, which requires phantom power provided by a mixer/interface.
    Below are my current specs, and will be completely rebuilding my PC soon as it is fairly dated, but still able to run a lot of things.

    -----------
    • Windows 7 Professional - Service Pack 2

    • Intel i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost OC)
    - Still equivalent to the i7-7000 Series CPUs

    • GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
    • CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 2133MHz > running 1600MHz

    • 2 x EVGA 03G-P4-2884-KR GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support w/EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card
    - 3 gens old, but still equivalent to a single GTX 1060

    • 500GB Samsung Sata HD
    • 1TB Western Digital HDD
    • Mouse - Razer Naga Trinity
    • Keyboard - Razer Blackwidow Chroma
    • Webcam - Logitech C615
    • AutoTune Hardware - ART Pre Amp
    • USB Interface | Mixer - Scarlett 2i2 Focusrite
    • Microphone: Audio Technica AT4040

    I even tried doing a google search and other players have also had the same issues in the past with no definitive answer.

    I'm loving the beta so far, and I really haven't had any issues besides the occasional disconnect - which have already been addressed - I just cant play/record it with friends as any background audio is not working.

    Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.Thanks

    You do realize this isn't the division 2 private beta forum right?
