Audio cutting in and out in online games

good evening

There are several potential causes for audio cutting in and out in online games. Here are some things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

Check your internet connection: Make sure you have a stable and fast internet connection. You can run a speed test to check your connection speed. If your connection is slow or unstable, this could cause audio problems in online games.

Update your network drivers: Outdated network drivers can cause connectivity issues. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your network card.

Check for background programs: Certain programs running in the background, such as streaming software or chat applications, can interfere with online games and cause audio issues. Close any unnecessary programs to see if this helps.

Check your in-game audio settings: Make sure your in-game audio settings are set to the correct audio device. You may also want to try adjusting the audio quality settings in the game to see if this helps.

Check your hardware: If you have tried all of the above steps and the audio problem persists, it's possible that there is a problem with your hardware. Make sure your audio and network hardware are functioning properly. If you are using a headset or speakers, try using a different set to see if the issue persists.

I hope these suggestions help!

good game, as others have said a little glitchy, audio cut outs, also played several games online and had background music but no sound effects.

Are you noticing the audio cutting out on all games, or just specific ones? Do you have the same problem if you try to play movies or CDs?

Have you tried setting the display settings manually?

Mine is through the TV speakers and it only cuts or for a split second. It seems to be ok for a while but the more games you play and the more the cache gets loaded up the worse it gets. So I'm wondering if it's to do with that. Have you cleared your cache?
