EA Javelin Anticheat cuts sound on Focusrite Scarlett Solo Mk4

I cannot find a specific EA Anticheat bug report forum around here so here it goes:

As a symptom it starts in about 10-15 seconds after the game is normally loaded, the game freezes for a split second and the sound gets turned off, unplugging the sound card (Focusrite Scarlett Solo Mk4) brings back the sound but i lose the ability to use VOIP (can't talk cannot hear anybody). 

As stated in the title, the EA Javelin Anticheat is blocking my soundcard from functioning properly, i have been in touch with the Focusrite support department and troubleshooting my issue that started about 1-2 weeks ago and we have concluded that the EA anticheat system is cutting my sound. 

Uninstalling the Focusrite drivers does not cut the sound anymore, this was not an issue in the past till few weeks ago. 

Starting the game and End Tasking the EA Javelin Anticheat system (the blue icon process, the process without icon is the actual game and it will shut down the game) during the loading of Battlefield V doesn't cause the sound to cut off anymore. 

For now i have only 2 solutions: uninstall the Focusrite drivers or use task manager to End Task that process during the loading of the game.

  • Same problem here, started a few weeks ago. Really frustrating. Restarting the focusrite by reconnecting, makes BF crash a minute after.
    Changing the buffer size helps sometimes, but it will cause crackling.

    The workaround to shut down the EA Javelin process has been probably patched and doesn't work anymore so there are only 2 options now

    1. Uninstall the driver and use the basic Windows audio driver 
    2. Change the sampling rate after the sound cuts out: from Control Center you switch to 44kHz and back to 48kHz, you will get the sound back but you will not have a functioning VOIP in the game this way.

    EA is very aggressive with the anticheat , it does anything but to stop cheaters that spoil the game for everybody, still the same fast moving people, all sever players kill command and even server crash. 

    Adrenalin Driver from AMD is also not able to gather FPS numbers because of the anticheat system. 

  • Same Issue, cannot play BFV or BF2042.

    EA, please allow the following drivers for Javelin Anti-cheat: Focusrite Driver 4.124.3 - Windows 10+11

  • my focusrite 4i4 3rd gen is the same problem i hope they fix it
