Hey, I'm wondering, if I use a sound from here in a commercial video game, and the game is recorded for monetised YouTube, I'd be fine with my game being monetised, but what about the sounds used? Would the actual gameplay have to be muted.

Of course I'd do all the attribution and stuff required, but I guess you tubers would not. So, how would this work?

well depends on the license, Public domain means you can use it however you like without crediting, Attribution means you have to credit them, Attribution non-commercial means you cannot use it for commercial purposes, unless you get personal permission from the creator.

For other people who play the game, they don't need to worry about that stuff, all crediting goes into the game itself

but to be realistic here, nobody will notice anyway so i doubt that you will run into any legal issues and for your video to be muted, though it is a sign of respect to keep these things in mind

Well, I'm the developer of the game, and I'm wondering that, if I got permission from an author under Attribution non-commercial, so that selling the game is fine, what about a commercial video of the game?

as long as you have permission, it's fine, once the creator has given you permission the creator already knows you will get money off of it. though i doubt he will give you permission if he licenses the sound as non commercial to begin with.

Ok.
