After Updating and launching the Game, there was just no Sound Output.

> lspci | grep -i audio
07:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
09:00.4 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Starship/Matisse HD Audio Controller

I looked in the Settings and the Correct Device was not listed.
Factorio as Application also does *not* show up in Systems Audio Control Settings.
As far as i can see there is no Information regarding this in the log. I restarted the Computer, no changes.
I did revert to 2.0.77 and Audio Output worked again.
I did update again to 2.1.7 and the issue returned.

No other Applications have Audio Output Issues at the moment.

Does changing the preferred audio driver in Sound settings (requires Factorio restart) make any difference?

Actually, yes. setting it to PulseAudio Fixed it.
I didn't realise that required a restart.

I did figure out a way to route the audio through the monitor in the meantime.

Thanks alot.

I'm glad it worked.
