Audio drops out shortly after launching game

I'm unfortunately having the same problem. Unfortunately, two days ago, I've also developed a new problem with my AMD Ryzen 7 5800X: my CPU is doing more than my RTX 3090 Ti 24GB. After 277 hours, I can no longer play the game normally; I can't make any progress. Literally two days ago, I was still playing the game without any problems, and then one day I woke up and the game was unplayable. I've tried everything to fix it; the CPU isn't giving any errors. It's literally the game itself that's become unplayable. It started with the audio bug, and I got this thrown in for free. I hope you don't experience this, but I wouldn't be surprised if you do too, because I know several people with the exact same problem, even on consoles with the audio bug and then the CPU problem. Unfortunately, they're not responding to bug reports or anything; they deny the bugs in the game. The standard answer you usually get is, "It's your PC, not the game." That's something I heard several times.

Update - 
I determined that the HDMI audio output from my GPU still works after the RME audio driver cuts out, but this it not an acceptable solution for me. I use my RME PCIe sound card for all system audio, speakers, headphones, microphone, and routing. For some reason, it would appear that this latest patch causes compatibility issues with my RME audio drivers. Surprising, considering this card works seamlessly with every other application I've used. 

EA Report ID: 8f0ba891-c255-4636-abe2-cd3dee1890a5

Currently using RME HDSPe driver version 4.61, released 2026-01-18. This issue also occurs on RME HDSPe driver version 4.50, released 2025-01-16

The Same with my RME UFX+. It worked perfectly since 3 weeks Not any more.

Things like that often have something to with something called "Hands Free Audio" and such, that Bluetooth headphones often have, it also has something to do with noise cancelling I think. Make sure that audioadapters like that are deactivated or that they are not the primary audioadapter, you don't have to uninstall it. It's usually microphones or secondary audioadapters that cause something like that. I always make sure that the one audioadapter is active that I use and no others.

Interesting. It would seem the latest update broke RME audio drivers. Thanks for sharing

My audio device does not have any hands free settings like bluetooth headphones. It's just an audio driver, similar to Nvidia HD Audio, Realtek Audio, etc. No enhancements or special features enabled. When I first experienced this bug, the RME driver was the only audio driver installed on my machine.

I suspect the AntiCheats kicks the driver out. Any thoughts on that? 

I suppose it's possible. I don't know of a way to test this, as BF6 will not launch with EAAntiCheatService disabled.

Update - This bug appears to be fixed with patch 1.1.3.6. I played a few rounds with no audio drop outs.
