Audio stops working

[Mysterion]

So, I got this issue that i did not encounter yesterday for 2 hours of playing, but now, it wont go away.

The audio cuts off in about 2 minutes in-game, after functioning normally during the intro movie and the main menu sequence.

I've hooked my PC onto a receiver using an Xonar DX soundcard. During the intro, the input stream is "Multichannel PCM" but after a few minutes in-game, the input stream is gone on the info screen of my receiver.

I've tried re-installing the drivers by performing a clean uninstall,
I have no "sound enhancements" ticked anywhere,
I already restarted my PC multiple times, but still no result.

What else can I try?

Are you on Windows 11?

[Mysterion]

The mic is getting turned on that's why. If you are using a Bluetooth headphones, I would suggest you go to sound settings of windows and disabling microphone

I do not have a mic hooked up and muted the microphone in the options menu.

In the meantime, I did a clean install of graphic driver AND audio driver, both still did not resolve my issue

this might help you, check your sound bit rate, if you're at 192k Hz or 96K Hz, change it to 48K Hz or 44k Hz

In my case with the audio dropping out on my Bluetooth head set after two minutes. But the audio still works for everything else, but the game only.

I have the same problem - audio STOPS working after the intro. Any suggestions? I've spent hours to try to solve it :-(

Same problem on my laptop also. I have done everything, reinstalled every driver, reinstalled windows 10, 11, but nothing worked. Tried contacting Forza support, they asked whether i bought it from steam and then never replied. Please tell if anyone knows how to fix it.

I also contacted Forza support two days before, but they didn't responded yet (understandebly), so we will see. BUT I tried to log in with another Microsoft user and the sound is working for now - so I'll see - will let you know...

Only time this happened for me was when I had Bluetooth devices running and installed.

Disabled Bluetooth and the problem went away.

I'll try it, but it looks like there is another problem - I tried to log in with another account and audio was playing. I logged in back to the main acc and audio stops. After that I logged in back to the second acc and audio starts again - so there is some another problem than BT device connected.
So I played with second acc and after entering to the autumn season (it is like one hour of playing from the beginning) audio stops itsef - the same as with the main acc.
Than I installed the newest GPU drivers and suddenly audio starts playing again. So I told myself "Hurray, I can switch back to my main acc", but I was wrong - again audio stops playing. Switching to the second account - audio is playin for now - tried like another one hour.

WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD... Damn FH4 audio :-/

I know that this is like a few years old topic, but I am not able to find any info anywhere.

Is there a way to disable this game audio muting, when I'm turning on my mic? Right now I have two choises - either listen to the steam voice chat audio or game audio. There is no way to hear both at the same time.

I've never solved this, bro. They don't care, it is old game for them and the problem is not global, so you know...
