Steam gaming mode has no sound
When I'm in desktop mode, there's sound, but when I go to gaming mode, the interface has no sound, but the games have sound. Has anyone had this problem and how can I solve it?
Note: I've already gone into the interface options and the sound is activated.

On desktop mode check your playback devices in the sound settings, if you have multiple the gaming mode may be defaulting to one you're not using.
There should be a drop down that allows you to choose what codec/channel (or whatever it is) each device uses, this dropdown will also have an option to disable that device. So disable all devices you don't want to use.
That's how I solved a similar issue I had.
Might sound dumb but also make sure you don't have steam muted in desktop mode. Happened to me once
If you have the steam client muted in desktop mode. It will mute all of game mode (including games)
Threw me off because games had sound on the desktop but not in game mode
