Are there any Mods for the Audio stuttering and better performance caching?

[Wrangler]

Probably the most annoying aspect of game play is the delay leading to any conversation. I thoroughly checked my system, cleared out whatever clutter there was, enhanced the page file and reduced any applications that are TSR on boot. The audio delay is still there.

I've also noticed that there is a delay when aiming and firing, usually after the first round is fired.

Anyone know of any MODs, tweaks, or upcoming patches, which will fix these fundamental aspects of the game?

Using an HDD?

My primary drive is SDD, but my gaming (where starfield is located), projects and storage drives are SATA.

That’s your problem , your on a hdd not an ssd

[Lunovus]

SSD is in the min. system requirements.
So install (or move) the game to an SSD.

Best update would be a M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD if your mobo supports it.

What everyone else said. I had it on a hdd and had the same problems. I switched it to my M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD and the problems went away. It also makes the load times very short.

This doesn't clarify anything.

Solid state drives can be SATA.

I'd recommend these mods; most solve or work around Bethesda's incompetence:

Essentials (IMHO):
Disk Cache Enabler[www.nexusmods.com]
Instant Doors[www.nexusmods.com]
Frame Gen[www.nexusmods.com]
Weapon Swap Stuttering Fix[www.nexusmods.com]
Sprint Stuttering Fix[www.nexusmods.com]

Optional
StarUI[www.nexusmods.com]
Upscaler Texture Fix[www.nexusmods.com]
Smooth Ship Reticle[www.nexusmods.com]

Recommended Tweaks
Faster Interactions[www.nexusmods.com]
Faster Docking, Landing, and Takeoffs[www.nexusmods.com]

Stealth Overhaul[www.nexusmods.com]
Combat Overhaul[www.nexusmods.com]
Jetpack Overhaul[www.nexusmods.com]
True Aim[www.nexusmods.com]
Slowmotion Ship Power Management[www.nexusmods.com]

Neutral LUTs[www.nexusmods.com]
Undelayed Menus[www.nexusmods.com]
No Intro[www.nexusmods.com]

For example, the "Instant Doors" makes it so most interiors are "loaded" at least one second faster as one does not need to wait for its animation before it starts to load.
You should attempt with the "Cache Enabler" first, as I think it has been reported to solve the issues mentioned, and should allow Starfield to run fine on both SSDs and HDDs—and it's also a free performance boost as it doesn't spam redundant requests how Starfield does.

Apologies, you are correct. I had responded speech to text while driving and was being a bit to pithy.

My primary/system drive is M2, only a couple of TB. The rest of my drives are standard internal SATA drive between 4-8 TB, each dedicated to their own purpose.

My motherboard can handle the addition of another M2 and at least 2 more internal drive (case is accommodating).

I wanted to thank you again for the links you provided. I already had Natural LUTs and StarUI installed, and they did help. but not as dramatically as disk cache enabler and a few others that take a second off here and there. At present, any delay in dialog is negligible and momentary, but for the most part entirely absent.

I had considered another M.2 drive or an external sound card (to free up resources from the integrated audio chips), but I'm glad I took your advice first.

Appreciated.
