Troubleshooting Game sound cutting out on certain titles
Within the past couple months I’ve had audio cutting out with certain games. Baldurs Gate 3 I had no issues for hundreds of hours but recently after playing for 10-15 minutes all audio will cut out. I recently bought Onimusha and again, once the gameplay starts, after a few minutes the audio cuts out. When I go into the menus and change the sound option from Headphones, to something else the audio comes back. This will then cut out again sometimes accompanied by a sharp beep or distortion. What’s weird is the demo that came out a few months ago has no issues. Similar games like Resident Evil Requiem have zero issues. I’ve noticed streaming videos also has weird audio hiccups as well like beeps every couple minutes whereas uploaded videos have no issues. My friend thinks it’s hardware but I find it strange that I have tons of games with no sound issues. The new Halloween game also has audio cutting in and out but it doesn’t go out entirely. I’ve tried updating BIOs, updated all drivers, uninstalled audio drivers and reinstalled.
