No game sound (music/gameplay) on Windows 11

Just bought and installed this game thru Steam and I have no sound whatsoever in this game (music and gameplay). I have Windows 11 on an Asus ROG laptop and I’ve tried opening game with administrative rights as per a suggestion I found online. (No change) All speaker outputs are enabled/updated and still no sound. Sound has not worked since install. Could not find any suggestions on this forum for my exact issue and wondering if there is help.
