Alright, I FINALLY solved the sound issue! Just in case anyone else similar issues, here is what did it in the end.

I downloaded a program called Codec Tweak Tool. Within the program you can click Fixes, and there is an option to "Reset Windows Audio Mixer volume settings for all applications". This solved the issue and got sound back for me. Why? I'm not sure, but at least it worked.

I do not know everything about Project 1999 and how they patch things, but I do know that their patches do not mess with the sound. So I think wherever you are looking for the problem may be the wrong place. Maybe think outside of the box?
I checked my MSconfig services and I don't have anything called virtual sound synthesizer. I did check any service that looked sound related and they were all running, and I haven't personally changed any settings there ever. IDK enough about computers to think outside the box, all I know is my sounds worked fine prior to the patch and now they do not. Sound works as normal for everything not p99.

Try looking at the Windows Volume mixer. I hadn't touched this yet somehow EverQuest became muted. Simply right click on the speaker icon (normally on the right hand side of your task bar) and select "Open Volume Mixer". In that menu scroll across to the right and see if you too have an item listed as "Name not available". If you do, un-mute it and see if that works for you too.
I'm sure this is related to my problem, but when I open the volume mixer there isn't anything listed for Everquest, p99, or anything called "name not available". The only things that show up are "Device", "System Sounds", and "Mozilla Firefox". I've tried experimenting with different settings including restoring the defaults, and also updated to the latest driver but nothing has worked.

Any ideas would really be appreciated, this sucks =(

The CodecTweaker that the guy shared work for me as well, recommend that fix. Make sure you do it when the game isnt running. It might have also been just me closing out of like every other program on my computer (discord included) but who knows.

So I too lost all sound suddenly a few days ago and have been unable to troubleshoot it myself. I want to try this, "Codec Tweak Tool." Is the following the correct link to the app you used?
