i've unfortunately done this multiple times with no change. will have to use the old 2.8.2 version. i dont know why this is happening.
So I believe I've figured out the problem. I had the same issue with my mic not connecting at all but I realized this is only a problem when I was using my default output (which were my headphones). when I went into my windows settings then app sound preferences and switch the application's output to my speakers it was solved. So I guess make sure the output for the application is anything other then default and it should be fixed.
