Just bought this game yesterday. Played it today for the first time. The in game sound keeps cutting out for a few seconds then comes back. Keeps happening over and over. Anybody else having this problem? Or know any solution?
WORKAROUND "FIX"...
Folks, i have been troubleshooting this issue today, with a few different kind of approaches.
Following method fixes the audio stutter 100%, at the expense of (non-audible) quality loss;
In your xbox system settings / audio / ...change "5.1 Dolby" in to "Stereo".
Now, to get your surround speakers back up and running...change playback profile on your amplifier to
a mode that "simulates" 5.1 audio.....There you have it, NFS Most Wanted without audio issues.
Let's still hope and pray EA patches this bug though.

Still no fix for this? Utterly pathetic.
First of all I'm not doing that workaround. I'm sure it might work so credit where credits due but I'm not going to give one game preferential treatment, at the expense of proper 5.1 four all my other games and movies etc. And no way am I turning it back and fourth just to play this game.
Having to do that just because of cheap game support doesnt sit well with me.
was playing fine with me, and like everyone else I'm running my Xbox to a 5.1 surround system via optical cable.
Since I did the 2.01GB multiplayer patch the sound cuts out, basically anytime where the sounds seems to come under load.
Devs, get the finger out and patch this!
It is unplayable!
I'm having the same problem, audio cuts off for a second of two during the game, it happens anywhere where there is a lot of rev sound or a change in environment, sometimes when it auto saves, I'm using HDMI through a Harman Kardon Receiver, I thought it was an xbox problem and tried optical audio but problem persist, also this happens only with this game, other games play well no sound issue, I can't play Need for Speed Most Wanted like this, please fix this problem.
I just bought NFS Most Wanted and installed it to my Xbox 360 hard drive today — and it is TERRIBLE.
I am having the same audio issues reported in this thread — not to mention the game actually FREEZES play for a half-second here and there along with the audio glitches.
I had been playing Forza Horizon all day long without a single glitch — and upon running this game (even after an Xbox reboot) the glitches are NON STOP.
You can't run a single race without wanting to shut the game off.
#FAIL of epic proportions. You can't mean to tell me that not a single game tester at EA ran into this issue with all the complaints I am seeing about it?
Actually, ALL of the games I have problems with on my 360 are ALL EA games. Go figure. I will certainly avoid the label from now on.
