For PC players: There are a huge amount of players complaining about this in Reddit and General Discussions for 2042, but there hasn't been any acknowledgement which is concerning so I wanted to post it here in hope.
Since the 6.0 patch both me and my friends get audio glitching/distortions, loud crackling static, and reverberation. This effects our entire Windows Audio, even causing friend's in Discord to reverberate, delay, and hear each other in-game and in Discord. No it's NOT Discord or any other game, it is only Battlefield 2042, and only when we log into Battlefield 2042.
The common trend so far is that the hardware seems the same or similar. We all have Focusrite 2i2 Scarlett DACs, but I've seen people complaining for other setups as well.
The only way to temporarily fix this is minimizing while in a match, changing the Windows Sound > Speaker Properties > Advanced > and then changing the audio quality from one and to another every time the issue happens. It happens every 10-20-30 minutes, sometimes multiple times in a single match.
Please, I'm beginning you, look into this issue, it only started happening for us in Patch 6.0 with the launch of Redacted. Cheers
I have the same issue since the newest patch in every game too.
I also have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 (2nd gen) Audio Interface.
When the sound goes garbled I have to toggle my sample rate from 44100 to 48000 and back to restore it..
There is no issue with running my headphones. This bug strickly effects the Focusrite audio interface.
I just updated my Scarlett 2i4 to the newest drivers with no change having the bug. driver 4.119.3
