Prototype Sound (Stuttering) Problem Fix

[Retroburn]

Prototype's audio bugs haven't been fixed as there'll be no patch forthcoming from Radical. Here's the fix.

Radical Entertainment ceased to be a development studio in 2012.

This game so buggy, I googled some and ended up making two guides for it. I hope this will help fellow PC gamers cut corners in finding the fix. Happy gaming!

Bumping this as the game is on sale and I'm pretty sure quite a handfull will run into the Prototype audio stuttering bug.

I hope this helps some of you. Happy gaming!

thx i'll try it and make a feedback ;)

Edit : actually if it doesn't work with 48 hz, you should try 44 hz

The 48hz setting works for me but thanks for the feedback! I'll put it on the description box in a bit. (Currently uploading one more video; a game just got released as freeware and I'm spreading news about it on my channel.)

Done! Your tip is now on the description box Jach. Thanks man!

EDIT:

I was able to completely resolve the audio issues by setting my audio to 48k @ 24-bit, AND then also going into the Device Manager to Human Interface Devices and disabling every single HID-Compliant driver.

Afterwards, no issues and game runs a lot better. If you've got a good ear, you'll still notice a very slight stutter when the in-game action stops (like when you pause, or a tutorial pops up, or during cut scenes) but its intermittent and almost non-existent. Hope that helps anyone who had the same issue as myself. :-)

Interesting. What happens if you don't disable those drivers?

Without disabling HID-Compliant drivers (but still changing the Sample Rate), there was significant stutter in the background music when the in-game action stops (again like when you pause, a tutorial pops up, or during cut scenes) but it did not affect the voices, so it was bearable.

Ah. Interesting. I didn't have this one. Once I applied my fix, everything was okay. Odd that you have that. But anyway, I'm glad you've solved it Sylas420!

For sure, thank you! I found the fix on another thread for people having latency issues, but it worked for the sound for me:

Hmm have you tried playing with no ohter software (VLC, Chrome, etc) running in the background? Have you tried upgrading your audio drivers? (Though about the latter: Make sure you know what you're doing. I can't provide tech support if something goes wrong with your system.)
