I am encountering this same issue on every game launched by RPCS3 in Pegasus. I tried both workarounds and they work as described by @AstronautMikeDexter. I tried creating the .alsoftrc file as instructed by @ABeltramo but it didn't change anything.

Edit: Unlike OP, I can't hear the game in the wolf-ui main menu.
