Audio Issues

[Blvck Vces]

I've been experiencing popping, crackling, low audio, and even no audio at times from the game. My audio drivers are up to date and I've been having no issues with the audio for other games I have in my library but Ragnarok just to see if my PC was the issue

They're using the "latest tech" out there T_T. Fused Multiply Add (FMA). Yes, for audio. Those of us with no such instruction set on our CPUs and using Intel SDE, get that same crackling to no sound. I bet the development logic was "find the Windows equivalent of all PS5 cpp code/functions and that'll do". No wonder the train-wreck we're seeing...

Same issues here with crackling and broken audio.

[RamboToaster]

Same. Then it progresses to visual lag.

[Ryderfan14]

Yep it’s still happening to. I just recently got the game and am hearing the same cracking and popping issues. It even happens when they talk to

Crackling audio went away after I switched from a Dualshock controller to an Xbox controller

Didn't fix it for me on Steam Deck. :(

Same on Steamdeck but not PC.

Any fix for the audio crackling post patch 8 hotfix 1?

[kmlwoj]

Can confirm, the issue is still here on Steam Deck OLED.

[jfhperalta]

Yup I am also on steam deck OLED and the audio issues still persist

I found a possible solution. In your audio settings toggle mono audio on and then off. Seems to be working for now. Good luck.

Edit. This seems to only work for a little while. Very disappointing

Hi everyone,
any update on this issue. This is horribly annoying :(

[ColdburnMaster]

Steamdeck oled, I have very bad audio crackling during gameplay and audio lagging during cutscenes, HOW IS THIS VERIFIED? Not playable in it’s current state.

The issue is still here, makes me not even want to play it fr. A waste of $$ if you ask me
