Community Admin@DustyHoffman85 Hey, can you take the steps below and let us know if they help?
Go to Control Panel > Sound.
Select your device and choose Properties. Check the enhancements tab and disable any enhancements that are active.
Then go to the Advanced tab and set the quality to "16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality)"
Hit Apply then launch the game and please check again.
Thank you.
This had no effect on the issue. It continues to stutter and cut out. Who wants to play in 16 bit 44100hz these days anyway? That is like telephone quality.
I might have a fix, at least for my version of the problem (so far):
- Have the game running and tab out
- Right click the sound icon in your taskbar and click playback devices
- If a popup appears telling you about issues and suggests you disable all enhancements do it
- A list of output devices appear, disable all the devices you don't use
- Now take your default output device and right-click (or tap and hold) and select Properties.
- On the Enhancements tab, select the Disable all enhancements check box(if it's there) and try to play your audio device.
-
If that doesn't work, select Cancel and, on the Playback tab, select another default device (if you have one), select the Disable all enhancements check box, and try to play audio again. Do this for each default device.

Please tell me if it works 🙂
doesn't. 😞🤭

It's actually CD quality and for most purposes (including games) not noticeably worse than 16bit/48KHz, and everything above that is really only useful if you're doing sensitive sound editing.
Anyway, it's not like changing that setting helps. I also tried prohibiting exclusive access to the audio device, but that doesn't change things either.
I have a fantastic DAC and professional power amps with studio monitors. For me, hearing the star wars sound effects in 192k is blissful, until it starts crackling again.
Audio people can hear a definitive difference between 44k and 192k, even on consumer devices. The difference between 96k and 192k has more of an argument.

The difference between 96k and 192k has more of an argument.On consumer devices, I really want to see you try in a proper double-blind ABX test, and considering that the game was probably mixed down to 48KHz anyway... yeah.
A proper output device does cut down the noise a lot though, the dirt falling out of most onboard solutions is amazing.
