Audio crackling or popping on usb razer headset.

here's a DxDiag if it helps 

Agree, after the last patch, nothing has changed, the sound  crackling/popping in the menu, stutters before cutscenes and when moving to a new location, as if the location freezes. Also, an attempt to load a save  during the game leads to a black screen

Hey Everyone, 

I wanted to drop in real quick and check if anyone is still hearing audio stuttering/crackling while playing?

If so could you share the following info:

Platform:

Audio Device:

Connection Method (wired, Bluetooth):

Are you using an internal or external drive?

Are you using an HDD or SSD?

If possible, share a Clip...

If on PC, please share a DxDiag

Cheers!

I can't share a clip as the game will freeze my entire system (an ongoing issue that still has not been addressed). I do still get the audio issues when the game first loads to the main menu, and when starting the game... Before the lockup that is...

I don't know if you'll see the RAM usage there, but it is ignorable. I'm running a game server currently. When attempting to play the game, I close all other applications. DS is installed on my main M.2 NVMe drive.

My headset is a SteelSeries Arcits 7 set to 2 channel, 16 bit, 48000 Hz.SteelSeries GG engine was not running at any point.

Platform: PC

Audio Device: Astro A40

Connection Method (wired, Bluetooth): Wired

Are you using an internal or external drive? Internal SSD

Are you using an HDD or SSD? SSD

If possible, share a Clip... I've tried to clip the audio popping but it doesn't seem to appear in the recording. I've tried two different pairs of headphones as well, same issue. 

If on PC, please share a DxDiag

This trick is old but who knows.

While in game Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to start Task Manager.

Go to the Details tab, find DS exe right click on it and choose set priority high.

i havent tried it again since the patch, i stopped playing until stuttering and everything is fixed, will try it again later and post a video if its still doing it

The fact that the actual game is fine, and this only happens when the menu is involved, leads me to think that only a patch will fix this crackling/stuttering sound issue. 
I have tried the majority of all fixes provided, to no avail. 

Having the exact same issues, i believe you are talking about the elevator door, in the medical bay, opposite of the shop, opening that door tanks my frame rate, i haven't progressed after that. Does it get better? 

I too have a black screen, when loading a custom save. 

Idk why none of this stuff is acknowledged yet.
