A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When building gzdoom with the auto-setup-windows.cmd script, the resulting binaries do not detect any sound cards, HDMI audio, or onboard audio. The built ZMusic DLLs contain no version information.

Console output:

S_Init: Setting up sound.
Sound init failed. Using nosound.

Upping the developer/debug level doesn't reveal any further details.

I have also tested the script on two additional Windows 10 Pro computers:

Computer 1:
Board Form factor: ATX
Board: ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-A
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
Audio: ESS Sabre DSP, Solid State amp
GPU: MSI Suprim GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 (Overclocked)

I tried all Audio output options available, including HDMI and a cheap USB dongle

Console output:

S_Init: Setting up sound.
Sound init failed. Using nosound.

Computer 2:
Lenovo Thinkpad T520
CPU: Core i7 2.9GHz Ivy Bridge (Quad Core)
GPU: Quadro 4200M
Audio: Some Realtek DAC, not sure

I did not test the external DP++ modes.

Console output:

S_Init: Setting up sound.
Sound init failed. Using nosound.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour.

1. run .\auto-setup-windows.cmd
2. copy gzdoom and zmusic files to a new folder
3. run gzdoom

Your configuration

Fresh config.

IIRC auto-setup-windows.cmd shouldn't be used, since vcpkg is not required for builds anymore, you can just run cmake-gui directly

Regardless of how it's built, try the .dll's from a recent release, instead of the .dll's it builds, they probably will work a lot better in any case.
