step 1 - open apex legends
step 2 - open windows services by searching "services" using the windows home button
step 3 - stop windows audio endpoint builder (its near the bottom)
step 4 - start windows audio (its right above audio endpoint builder)
I found an easier workaround, instead of doing that long irritating thing with services. We're better off going to the games settings and turn off the microphone completely but keeping the voice chat enabled so we can hear other players.
Here's what you do:
1. Go to C:\Users\*yournamehere*\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local
2. Open settings.cfg
3. Go to the bottom of that document and make sure you have as follows
sv_voiceenable "1"
TalkIsStream "0"
voice_forcemicrecord "0"
voice_mixer_boost "0"
voice_mixer_mute "0"
voice_mixer_volume "1.0"
voice_modenable "0"
voice_scale "0"
voice_vox "0"
4. Save the file and close it.
5. Right-click the same file and go to properties. Tick "Read-only" in the pop-up window and apply the changes.
This only helps with disconnects and game freezes. The game will crash from time to time, but not as common as it occurs without doing the workaround. I can play around 7 games without crashing me mid-game.
if you think that the process is long and irritating then i would suggest creating a bat file using the following
sc stop Audiosrv
sc stop AudioEndpointBuilder
sc start AudioEndpointBuilder
sc start Audiosrv
and setting it to run as administrator then just click the bat file when you start the game. The process you mentioned will work but you will no longer be able to adjust in game settings.
this literally does nothing
I made a video with a possible solution for people who use AMD FX 6300 6-Core Processor.

No, that has been a viable workaround solution working for a lot of players while the Apex Legends team is still investigating this.
Was this ever fixed?
Community ManagerThis is still under investigation by the team and they are committed to making stability improvements going into Season 2.
Just checking back in because of Season 2
I don't see any mention of it in the patch notes, sadly. Ah well, maybe season 3...
I am also currently looking to see if this was fixed. My brother is using my old FX-6300 and he crashes almost every second game if we can even get a game going.
If this is not fixed I have asked him to try the switch of 2 cores method, but I may just give up Apex until its fixed. Its ridiculous how they just don't say anything to anyone , but when it comes to the intel users and their Core I series 7000/8000/9000 issue, they jump at helping them even as far as getting a dev into the forums to diagnose issues directly for them.
If I had to guess, probably because the intel users have more $$$ to throw at them via micro transactions than someone using a 9 year old CPU, but that's just my 2 cents.
Any update on this with season 2 update>?
*cough*
