--------------------------+--------------------
 This issue seems to only be affecting me, but I can't run games on any
 release of scummvm beyond 2.0.0 (have tried 2.6.0 ; 2.7.1. and latest
 2.8.0. build).
 Every time I run the program, the status window displays the message
 "WARNING: Could not open audio device: WASAPI can't initialize audio
 client: �Ʈ!". I can then use the main menu, but upon running a game the
 program immediately crashes. The log message is as follows:

 [2023-10-18 19:54:31] ScummVM 2.6.0 (Jul 17 2022 00:04:49)
 [2023-10-18 19:54:31] Vorbis FLAC MP3 RGB zLib MPEG2 FluidSynth Theora AAC
 A/52 FreeType2 FriBiDi JPEG PNG GIF taskbar TTS cloud (servers, local)
 TinyGL OpenGL (with shaders)
 [2023-10-18 19:54:31] --- Log opened.
 [2023-10-18 19:54:32] WARNING: Could not open audio device: WASAPI can't
 initialize audio client: ǰ�!
 [2023-10-18 19:54:49] WARNING: Sound initialization failed. This may cause
 severe problems in some games!
 [2023-10-18 19:54:49] WARNING: Sound mixer initialization failed!
 [2023-10-18 19:54:49] WARNING: MIDI driver depends on sound mixer,
 switching to null MIDI driver!

 The results are identical on any release. I  have tried to tinkker with it
 myself, but don't really have the know-how to fix it.
