Sound cuts out regularly?
Sound cuts out regularly whether its set to 7.1 5.1 or stereo. Its not that big of a deal ;but i feel like there's a simple fix for it and i cant figure it out. Anyone else have this problem?

I have it set to use Dolby Atmos and haven't had any sound dropouts yet.

Mine to was doing it last night when streaming it. like stops for a second then comes back, sometimes it only does it a few times in a minute some times it does it 120+ times in a minute.
its really immersion breaking.
Been using Stereo sound mode.

Don't think its the drivers. im running the newest atm and it was doing it last night.
All i did to fix it. (least it hasn't cut out yet)
Close the game. Change output sound to my monitor start the game. close the game. then switch back to my headset, it hasn't cut out since.

Thanks! I was going to try that today as last night I was only trying it using my headset. Out of curiosity what sound mode in game are you now using that isn’t cutting out?

Did anyone figure out a fix to this?

I had similar problem recently when I lost bluetooth from my PC. Without Bluetooth my sound was going through different sources and cutting out.

After two days of looking how to fix my Bluetooth I’ve learnt about PowerFlush.

The way I did it:
I disconnected everything possible from my PC including second monitor and usb devices apart of mouse and keyboard.

Unplugged the power cable and switched off PSU on the back.

Pressed and hold power button for 30 seconds to drain all capacitors.

It sounds like fake shaman fix but it fixed my missing Bluetooth and some other smaller problems I had like random resets soon after booting up. I did it twice to be sure.

Here is a guide how to do it on laptops.

Not sure if it will help others but it fixed 3 different problems for me. I’ve never heard of power flush/power drain before.

thank you for suggesting on power flushing my PC. This fixed my audio stutter issue that I was randomly experiencing. The game was working perfectly fine until today and this fixed helped resolved the issue.
