Yes I did. They have never unchecked in my case.
I’ve also rebooted my entire laptop before posting yesterday (after repairing “broken” data twice). We’ll see if I have sound tonight or not. 
I wonder if performing some kind of deletion of files (perhaps these, perhaps others?) as seen below before repairing data will solve the issue.
Could a GM or someone from Tech support weigh in on this, please?
EDIT: Yes, still no sound today, after the patcher makes the “you can start the game now” sound.
