Sounds only occur at main menu. But after i click "New Game", it just no more sounds at all even after returning back to the main menu

Your Razer Kraken sound device driver is from 2013 and so I am not surprised that you might have sound issues. See what is available to update it to optimise it for Win10 x64 with latest OS updates.

Then you may have something odd going on with your sound driver and DxDiag, note the different dates for the same driver in these two extracts from the DxDiag:
  • Sound Devices
    -------------
    Description: Headset Earphone (Razer Kraken 7.1)
    Driver Name: USBAUDIO.sys
    Driver Version: 10.00.17134.0001 (English)
    Driver Attributes: Final Retail
    WHQL Logo'd: Yes
    Date and Size: 25-Jul-13 12:00:00 AM, 151552 bytes
    Driver Provider: Razer

    Sound Capture Devices
    ---------------------
    Description: Headset Microphone (Razer Kraken 7.1)
    Driver Name: USBAUDIO.sys
    Driver Version: 10.00.17134.0001 (English)
    Driver Attributes: Final Retail
    Date and Size: 4/12/2018 07:33:46, 151552 bytes
Either way, 2013 is a bit outdated in terms of Win10's evolution since then. All I can suggest is to do a clean uninstall and reinstall of your sound driver and see if that helps at all. Good luck.
