WASAPI error after using IAudioClient Workaround
For reasons I can't seem to diagnose, I've been suffering from the dreaded "Failed to initialize audio client" issue. I've tried several things to try and find the root of the issue (including every suggestion in the GitHub QnA), but to no success. I can at least launch the game when using the IAudioClient workaround, but then I am presented with the WASAPI error, which is only mentioned/associated with VoiceMeeter. I used VM a long time ago, but was not using it at the time the error first appeared. After hours of troubleshooting, I have still found no root cause or solution. I've tried reinstalling VM and messing with settings, I've tried multiple fresh installs, and I've tried several leads from google searches and shots in the dark, all to no avail.

Dude, I'm going to go ballistic
I tried fresh installing on a different drive and it WORKED
@devs I have no idea if my solution will help others, but I would maybe suggest adding that to the Q&A? If fresh install doesn't work, try doing it on a different drive?
:shrugx:
I'm completely at a loss, tbh
Despite the game working now, I'm not going to mark this as solved
Whatever was happening did have something to do with the files on my drive, but fresh installing both the Terraria and TML on my C: didn't fix it. Doing so on my D: did though.
And seeming by the fact that moving drives fixed it, the "audio client" and "WASAPI" issues were false positives?
I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea
Hope this thread could help other people, at least?
