A few seconds after entering the lobby, the entire system loses audio.
I think an update in Anticheat disables the Creative Audio Driver.
I've always used an OLD Soundblaster sound card without any problems.
As of today, June 2, 2025, I lose audio a few seconds after entering the lobby. I have to restart the PC to get the audio back.
All other games and applications work fine.
i have same issue
Win11+ X-Fi Titanium HD
EAC blocked old creative sound cards
Thanks for the reply, at least now I know I'm not the only one.
I thought that since they couldn't fix the audio issues in the gameplay, they decided to remove it :)
i have same issue
Win11 or Win10 + X-Fi Titanium HD
Same here, Win10 with X-Fi Titanium, its a shame because it still gives great audio!
I had to uninstall the driver and use the generic one that comes with Windows.
..And even then, it sounds better than the garbage integrated audio on my motherboard.
If you're going to use it like this, remember to set it to 48000 Hz; it seems bugged and sounds bad at other frequencies.
i have the same problem, It only happens to me in 2 games, Apex and Fortnite, Battlefield 2042, FIFA works normally..
Soundcard: Creative Titanium HD
Hello,
Me with Apex Legends, i don't have testing other games with EAC.
Soundcard: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series
I have the exact same issue, all other games work flawlessly
Same issue ... RME HDSPe AIO pro PCIE audio card $1000 retail is the best in class pci audio card bar-none.
The Audio card is connected via PCIe
Going over tech support with RME Tech support they also referred me to the app being the problem since all my other apps run smoothly and capable of playing 30 audio channels in sync. It all started once there was one of these minor updates installed for the game.
I tried everything from removing the card to another pc installed fresh everything (days) and the same issue happened when using a dedicated pcie audio card.
ISSUE: AFTER 7-10 SECONDS OF BEING IN THE LOBBY, THE AUDIO FOR THE ENTIRE PC INCLUDING BACKGROUND APPS IMMEDIATELY GO AWAY. (Being that my audio card also provides mic input, all I hear is audio from my microphone in the speakers.) Once the app is closed, all other apps can give playback again.
Here is an up-close of the video card, the chip inside is. XILINX SPARTAN .
Please do not remove support for hi end audio cards for this competitive BR game...
EAC has made changes to detect DMA cheats
