how do i fix the sound?

[Rovena]

i cant get any answers bc ppl who haven't played the game are clogging the discussions. but i recently updated my graphics card to the recommended spec and im still getting the weird laggy/choppy audio. has anyone found a fix?

[dante]

Got the same problem as well. Changing from stereo to surround helped a bit, but the crackling still happens if the camera isn't facing whoever's talking.

I had some strangeness today when updating MS Edge and the NVIDIA overlay popped up during my update. So make sure your browser is up to date even if you do not use it often (and in MS Edge make sure you check the box to not gather your info from other browsers when you launch Edge).
Also in the video card properties on my card there was a box to check to run the sound through my card 3070Ti.
Make sure your sound programs are up to date.
Check event viewer for info under administrative events.
Check HDD usage using Performance Monitor.

What are your system spec's?

Good Luck

Its not just you, I just tried every fix under the sun you will find online and nothing is working, the only thing i actually havent tried is checking the game files. Going to try that now and see if it gets better, ill let you know. Any of the so called "fixes" online though ot a single person has said works.

I have this too. Gladly I got refund. I think my comp is too slow, the sound somehow "lags" behind it.

This happens way too often in game industry, Starfield game-breaking bug, now audio bug. This is why we need Pay Per Hour. I dont want to give them any money if I meet a bug.

I thought this could be the case even though i can run cyberpunk in 4k, but my FPS is pushing great. I dropped video settings down substantially and it made zero impact. Im trying a couple of more "fixes" but refunding very soon myself.

Try HDD, I didnt wanna download it again. I tried almost everything else.

I just went 1920/1080 lowest graphic settings everything, full screen mode, three different sound outputs (usb versus direct into MB) and flipping to my hdmi port not display port to play the sound through my monitor. It fixed slightly and i mean barely. My guess it is some sort of hardware acceleration bug. Im running a Radeon though (I know there a have been some complaints with nvidia). My resources were barely being pegged and frame rate cappd with vsynch on. So I think you are right track with why you thought "slow" pc because it does present that way the more i listened to the glitch but its something else. For your HDD, im running on a great SSD so yeah throw that possibility out the window.

I just played for the first time and I did not have any issues, but that does not help you all out.

I am running an AMD 7950, 64 GB RAM, ASUS X670E Crosshair Hero MB, ASUS 3070Ti and Razer (Black shark head phones, Basilisk v3 mouse and Huntsman v2 Keyboard).
In the past I have had issues with sound in other games as my system or AMD Extreme seemed to think my Wireless Dongle was a NIC and tried to configure it, but uninstalling AMD Extreme fixed that issue.
I selected story mode and all of the presets it game me, and did not change my Rook except for voice and things seemed to go fine.

I do agree that basic game issues can be a game killer and drive me insane and I tend to check out a game before I buy, except for games I have loved in the past.

For me it feels like a weird bug on however they built the surround/wide dynamic audio, even with those options turned off (on stereo/mono audio), because the problem disappears the very moment I move the camera towards who's talking in the moment. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon

i hope they can fix it because it runs perfectly for me, just the audio is messed up

I had an odd issue today with sound using USB Razer device. It suddenly wasn't being recognized in the Synapse app but the sound was still playing but it wasn't right, had issues.

So I powered OFF my PC (NO power into the PC, removed the AC power cable at PSU), let it sit for about 30 seconds to clear any USB issues (hopefully) and all is fine now.

So you might try a Shutdown/Power OFF and REMOVE your AC power completely from the back of your PC (or turn switch to OFF on PSU) to ensure USB bus is reset, see if that helps.

my CPU is definitely out of date so that might be an issue for me? when the game runs its using about 95 to 99 percent. i've never run into audio issues like this tho.

How are you listening to the game? Headphones? Speakers?

How are you connected? Bluetooth, wired, hdmi port, etc...

This game really pounds CPUs, my CPU rarely runs hot but it does with DAV and I have seen threads where others are seeing the same high temps, 100% CPU utilization issue.

BUT my point is IF you are using on-CPU-audio then I suppose the issues described here could be due to CPU being stressed. I suspect this will be patched soon, since I have never seen a game, except AC Odyssey, pound a CPU this hard.

How to fix the sound issues in DA: The Veilgaurd.

Go to your sound manager.
"Mute all sounds."

Alternative method.
Play a different game.
