No game sound after latest update (1.0.20)

It’s as stated above, since the latest update (Patch 1.0.20) the game doesn’t recognize my headset as an audio channel anymore.
The only way to get sound out of the game is if i change my monitor to be my default device in the windows settings.
I have updated all my audio drivers and checked if there is anything wrong with the audio in the other games in my library and they work just fine, it’s only Darktide that doesn’t have sound anymore.
The headset is an Arctis 7.

My platform is Steam.

I did have a crash the day before the patch came out but i played later that same day and the sound was working fine.

I found a solution for the problem.
For some reason,
#1 after i had updated my realtek drivers
#2 then disable only the Nvidia high definition audio
#3 and leave Nvidia virtual audio device(Wave extensible) (WDM) enabled in my device manger
#4 then unplug and replug my headset
it just kinda works for some reason.

No idea why.
Hope this can help other people.
