So after unsubscribing to all mods and then uninstalling and then reinstalling I have my audio back. It wasn't enough to not load the mods the culprit mod persisted even though unloaded. Thank you Astaroth for responding. I'll be much more careful using mods in the future and try one at a time.

Thank you.

Further investigation trying other DLC modes etc no sound. I've tried updating audio drivers, switching audio devices, etc.
