Audio issues using Discord and 2042 after S6 update.
Hey ya'll, I've never had this problem over the course of the entire game that I can remember... On my very first start up since the S6 update my audio cut out for a few seconds, and then later the entirety of the game's audio became garbly when I loaded back to the menu, it was like corrupted sounding! I restarted and kept trying, and noticed Discord bugging out, and game audio cutting more. When Discord bugged out one time it turned the Krisp noise suppression off by itself for some reason.
For specific Discord bugs, I've noticed Discord "animations" are laggy (my own lit up nametag is lagging behind when I'm actually speaking), and my audio is physically lagged behind too once the game is open. That is, I am a few seconds behind compared to normal when hearing and responding to friends on Discord. It's like the game is adding multiple seconds of latency to my discord connection or something. This immediately fixes again once the game is closed.
For reference I am using a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 Gen 2 for my main audio. I have been using this for years with no issues in any other game, so issues any other Battlefield, nor even 2042 up until just now. I will attach a DX Diag. here as well.
I have installed the latest GPU driver for my 3080, tried verifying game files and Steam did say it found a few to replace, but alas the issue persists. I have cleared EA app cache in the 'app recovery' menu, but that was more to solve the launching issues we were all having, so that clearly didn't help with this audio issue either. I will attempt to update my Scarlett drivers next, but somehow I doubt it's a Focusrite issue...
Hey folks,
I just wanted to inform you that I have been in contact with @FocusriteTechSup via DMs and the required information has been forwarded to the appropriate teams for further investigation.
I appreciate your tags, alerts, and other contributions.
