[Bug - Xbox Series S] No game audio after latest patch (audio driver error)

> Hi GGG team,

I’m experiencing a serious audio issue in Path of Exile 2 on my Xbox Series S since the most recent patch. After downloading the update, the game has no sound at all, and I also received a strange message referring to an "audio driver issue", which is odd since consoles like the Xbox do not use external drivers like a PC.

✅ What I've already tried:

Fully restarted the console (power cycle).

Tested other games and apps (all have working audio).

Changed audio output to “Stereo uncompressed.”

Reconnected the HDMI cable on both ends.

Plugged a headset into the controller (sound works only through it).

Fully reinstalled the game.

Cleared local save data.

Changed “Chat Mixer” setting to “Do nothing.”


🎯 Current situation:
There is no audio output through the TV at all, even at the main menu. It seems to be an issue within the game’s audio engine and not related to my console settings.

⚠️ Console: Xbox Series S
🎮 Game: Path of Exile 2
📦 Patch Version: Latest available as of [insert the date you updated]
🔊 Error: Total loss of audio + “audio driver problem” message

I’d like to know if the team is already aware of this bug and if there’s a fix coming soon. If needed, I can record a short video or provide a screenshot of the issue.
