FMOD failed to initialize any audio devices

*** EDIT: I was able to resolve the issue by disabling all my audio devices, uninstalling my audio driver, and then running a newer driver from my motherboard drivers website. ***

I get no audio whatsoever when I play the game. The log file shows an issue related to FMOD failed to initialize.

I tried the suggestion in the log file of: You can change this in Control Panel > Audio Devices and Sound Themes > Playback Device > Properties > Options …

Turning off the above did not resolve the issue.

Audio works for any other game I have played thus far. I tried to upload the log files but it told me new accounts cannot upload files. Please advise how I can upload my log file and dxdiag files. See snippets below until I can get files uploaded:

FMOD failed to initialize. This may be because your sound card is configured to give applications exclusive access, thus preventing Unity from using this device. You can change this in Control Panel > Audio Devices and Sound Themes > Playback Device > Properties > Options … : "Soundcard does not support the minimum features needed for this soundsystem (16bit stereo output). " (59)
