Audio is very choppy

I have a 2070, ryzen 9 3950xt, and 32 gb of ram.

Do you use voicemeeter? It causes this for some people it seems.

Same problem here. I use Voicemeeter for streaming, I have no problem with other games.

I get very stuttery audio too. I'm not using voicemeeter. I am using a USB soundcard - Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.

edit: Upping the buffer size from 128 to 256 samples fixes it. (I've never had to use this kind of workaround for a game before.)

Thank you for reporting, and updating with the fix. I also have a Scarlet 2i2, but I never use it for gaming. Will experiment and see what I can come up with.

I'm using Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 too and the audio starts stuttering at some point. I switched Sample Rate from 44100 to 48000 and I think it was normal for some time then it started stuttering again.

This is only a fix if you have audio running through voicemeter. Doesn't help if the game's audio still can't figure out where it's being pushed through and is silent.

I just changed my Scarlett 18i8's audio bit depth from 24 bit to 16 bit (under Advanced in the device properties window) and the crackling audio disappeared. Hope that helps!

I have a Xonar U5 USB soundcard and the sound is muted after a few minutes of play, I tried to change the bit depth from 24 bits to 16 bits (from the "ASIO control panel") but it doesn't fix the problem.
