Sound Stutter / Audio Popping

[Nite69]

anyone else have this problem with playing? its all over game

Ryzen 5 2600x
16GB DDR4 2400
GTX 1070

I get 30 - 40fps average at 1080p at High/Ultra

I don't have the audio popping in any other game I play

I changed the windows sound settings from 24 Bit, 48000 Hz to 24 Bit, 96000 Hz and the sound stutter was gone. Maybe it does the same on your end.

Yes, same to me since the very beginning of the game and the thing is no matter what "audio profile" you choose it persist in every mode.

Specs similar to yours: 6600k/ 1070/ 40-50 fps in 1080p on ultra maxed (not with ray tracing obv).

similar problem here. got a hall effect or chorus/flanger in buildings and cars when people talking. that sucks very hard

LOL I had mine set to 24 bit 192khz, I am on a sound blaster audigy 5 RX

but anyway its a game issue not my sound card

I prefer it to be at the sampling rate of the original source, which in most cases is 48000 Hz. In the case of Cyberpunk it seems to be 96000 Hz

[Nite69]

Yea so its a game issue then not my sound card, 192hz works fine in my other games they should fix it instead of me lowering my audio quality...

Agree i won't be lower my quality, that is the dumbest thing i ever heard some suggest. The proper suggestion is for the devs to fix it.

Can confirm, audio popping seems resolved with 24bit / 9.6 khz.

24bit / 96000 Hz solved the problem for me.

ASUS Xonar U7 MKII sound card here - 24bit/96khz fixed it.

You don't lower audio quality, you actually improve it.
If the source is 48000 Hz or 96000 Hz, upsampling to 196000 Hz is like upscaling a 1080p render to a 1440p display. With 192000 Hz you can get loss in audio quality that is masked undearneath the upsampling procedure.

This solution still works, thanks!
