Honestly, this issue is driving me utterly bonkers.
I'm running Windows 10 on an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB RAM, with a Realtek on-board sound-card (for want of a better description).
When I installed Resolve I had issues until I set the audio rate on the card to be 48000 24bit. Sound was then working and I was in business.
A few months later I'm coming back to it and trying to edit a new video, and I can't get the audio to work for love nor money. I spent several hours trying different settings in the audio preferences, making sure that the card is still set to 48000, disabling things like Steam's virtual soundcard that it uses for streaming audio to Steam Play (this system isn't dedicated video editing, I do sound and gaming too, hey ho). Nothing would work. Came back the next day, bam, it's working again no problem, no further changes made, it just mysteriously decided to cooperate. This was a few days ago.
Today I go back to editing again, and I have no sound again. I'd put the computer to sleep with Resolve open, and wasn't working on resume. So I did a cold boot, and sound came back. OK, fair's fair, not unexpected for things to go south when using sleep mode.
Now I'm back in to the same issue again. No matter what I try, no matter how many restarts I do, settings I play with, chickens I sacrifice, no sound do I hear. Fairlight settings are correct. My settings in Resolve are:
It's just extremely weird, and I have no idea what to do next. I can almost guarantee that the moment I hit post, switch this PC off, go for a vape and a fist shaking session at the Ancient Ones, and come back it'll suddenly decide to grace me with tickling my eardrums once more, but I can't really keep up this constant coin-flip situation as to whether I'll be able to work on a video or not. I don't exactly have free time in abundance as it is, and I do enjoy my hobby of randomly throwing together some silliness in video form, but now I'm spending all my free time trying to get Resolve working instead of actually being able to do any editing. Blergh!
Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.
