Major audio problems
I have an older Rocketfish 5.1 soundcard and I am having frequent loud static explosion sounds occuring every 20-30 seconds while trying to play this game... It is completely unplayable like this; I ...
I have the latest drivers for the card yes; I play dozens of games and do not have this issue with any other game, this only occurs with dragon age inquisition. I have a 5.1 speaker setup... I shouldn't have to disable 3 of my speakers plus sub woofer in order to have working audio.
Changin from 5.1, to 4 speakers and 2 speakers did not fix the problem. The sound will be isolated to one speaker at a time usually... Usually I'll hear it out ot the front left or right speaker... it doesn't occur in all speakers at once... But it is very loud... sounds like a static bomb and is occuring every 10-20 seconds of gameplay... It does not occur during cut scenes.... but is frequently happening while I'm moving around in the intro tutorial area.
So I guess I should request a refund since no one has any idea why this is happening and not likely to provide me with any solutions?
The only other idea outside of a driver update is kind of a long shot, but here goes.
Run a Clean Boot in order to ensure that no programs are interfering in the background: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
While they shouldn't interfere, there is a slight chance that they do.
