Unable to run SOMA

[divibal]

Did you just replace the GPU and try starting it? Or have you tried reinstalling it too? Perhaps the game ties to your current GPU upon starting and remembers it, basically saving the config for your old GPU. Idk, just a guess, really.

Though considering the error is under "Sound" and not "Graphics" perhaps the error is with your audio drivers or something.

You are 100% correct. Earlier today when i saw the error was in the sound i checked my audio drivers and saw that msi live updater only downloaded the driver and never installed it. I then had to manually find the download file and install it.
The reason i havent thought of the audio driver earlier is because some of my other games ran perfectly without the audio drivers (skyrim, deadrising 3, minecraft), so i never thought that would be the mistake.
Thanx for your support. if i didnt see the mistake, you definitely wouldve helped me!
