Following @MArdA TaleWorlds suggestion did not help.

Same problem.
The fix did not help for me too.
Downgrading to 1.5.8 starts without the error.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor (16 CPUs), ~3.7 GHz
Memory: 16384MB RAM

The game is installed on a SSD

Works for me as well, thanks for the hotfix.

We sent another hotfix for that. It should be fixed. Thanks for reporting!

This hotfix does not work for me. I've tried deleting the common sound files and restoring the files which didn't work either. I went back to 1.5.7 (1.5.8 had the same issue) but the sound didn't work and the games froze in the main menu. Please help me and please don't consider this issue resolved.

Do you have the mod tools installed?
