Title screen, Varric doing his monologue and character creation all play sound with no problem but the second I got to the first cutscene with my rook and then into Mintrathous the sound is constantly crackling and cutting out.
Have tried every possible audio setting in game and updated drivers.
(On windows 10)
Glad to know that I'm not the only who feels this way. Like you said the title screen, monologue and cc are all fine till the game actually starts and the crackling i so bad i can't handle it. Doesn't matter what sittings I had and nothing I did to the settings on my laptop help :/
Yeah I'm glad to hear I'm not alone even though I feel bad for all of you also having this issue.
I've also tried all the stuff in the video linked above and it didn't fix my issue. I'm also skeptical that the things cited in that video would be the problem for so many different people anyways. Most people aren't going to have spatial sonic sound on by default or have out of date sound drivers or issues with their sound card. I can't speak for everyone in here but I'm guessing most of you have zero issues with audio in other games.
Whatever is going on in here is very much a DAV issue unfortunately. I haven't had anything remotely like this in any other game I've played including modern ones like BG3.
Same issue, Windows 10 and Realtek audio. Turning of audio enhancements (spatial sound etc) seems to have fixed it somewhat. Still happens when the game is loading in assets in the background in cutscenes and new areas it appears.
I'm having this issue as well. Tried every audio setting in game and I'm still getting it. It's making the game unplayable. Has anyone found a fix?
I'm having exactly the same issue. Windows 10 Pro. Ambient sounds cutting in and out. I've turned off audio enhancements, tried different jacks and headphones, checked that sound was on stereo and headphones. I'm at a loss.
same for me
Same problem on windows 11 , i have crackling sound when compagnons speak and now when i fight i have this problem too its just .... not normal
When I contacted EA support they sent me a link to a youtube video i’d literally already tried before contacting them and that’s all they could provide.

Exactly same issue, constant crackling in the first cutscene with my character and as soon as i am in control of my character, too obnoxious to put up with so I haven't played further yet. Happens both on speakers and headphone, which use different jacks in the PC.
Windows 10
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
Followed the steps in the youtube video shared above ^
Reinstalled and updated graphics card, no joy yet.
Can only assume at this point it's a problem with the game ? I don't get it in any other game
Getting this same issue from title screen, character creator, Minrathous, and any cut scenes that play.
The game otherwise is really enjoyable (with some stutter) but the audio crackle is really taking me out of it, and causing a pretty bad headache.
Have tried checking sound settings, audio drivers, updates, etc. but it's only happening with Veilguard.
PC, Windows 11, Realtek Audio
I'm also getting constant crackling or stuttering sound. It's only in gameplay. While in the pause menu, the title screen, and also character creation the sound was perfect. I tried all the solutions in the youtube video but nothing worked. The game itself also runs pretty smooth, it seems to be an audio issue only.
