Audio stutter problems, please help me.

[Kazamezo]

I've searched everywhere and tried pretty much everything, which slightly reduced my problem but not entirely fixed.

When I start playing the game, everything is fine and the audio runs smoothly, but 10 minutes through and the audio starts popping and stuttering/skipping.

I'm using the NMC's Textue pack (Large) and the NVInteriors project, and I do have the 4GB patch enabled,

and I tried to disable archive invalidation and re-enabling it.
Also the problem seems to fade when I turn off the NMC texture replacer.

My PC is very beefy so to speak so I'm sure it's not a performance issue.
All my sound drivers are up to date.


Here is my load order;

Any Ideas?

[Anro]

sort you load order

make merge patch

use NVRS

open the sr_New_Vegas_Stutter_Remover
can be found in Data/NVSE/PLugins

bHookCriticalSections = 1 to 0

or you game will crash much

you never can fix audio problems to 100%

Hey guys,
I recently had the same issue and going into the Fallout_default file and changing the bMultiThreadAudio=1 text line didn't work. Turns out it was because of my Bluetooth speaker; that is my speaker makes the audio stutter for some reason. What fixed it is that I didn't use it and just slapped on some earphones or just ran it with my normal laptop audio. Hope this helps anyone :)
