Description

### Describe the Bug

When I'm playing and switch the audio output — say, from headphones to speakers — the sound cuts out, and I can't get it to work again.

### Reproduce the bug

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure your system has at least two audio output devices (e.g., headphones and speakers).
2. Launch the game.
3. While the game is running, switch the system’s audio output to the second device (e.g., from headphones to speakers).
4. Observe that the game’s audio stops playing entirely.
5. Attempt to switch back to the original audio source or any other — the audio does not resume.

### Additional context

The issue also occurs in the lobby. It’s possible that if the audio stops working there, it will remain broken once the game starts.
