Msfs 2024 Engine + Button Sounds muted in career

If it was working and now not, something changed somewhere.
Ideas/thoughts:.
Using a headset or speakers?
Sounds work when not in VR?

Is there anything turned on (by mistake or intentional) in:
-Accessibility>Auditory Assistance (Start Screen)
-General Settings>General>Sound
reset to default, try various settings, select your sound device instead of leaving it as default.

-Try while in Career " Toggle Headphone On/Off " default is Alt+H
any difference?
