Audio Issues

[JojoTheMacaque]

Despite having decent frames my audio seems to be cutting in and out. anyone else having this issue?

[SurajShah79779]

Yes me too. I have not even gone ahead with the first cut scene because audio cuts in and out and there is huge delay between audio and video

[dobermaxx69]

Yeah me too. Gorgeous game though. Gonna have to see if they patch it quick or modders fix it first before continuing.

[Gundam_Potter]

Same.

[Mercy]

same thing. 60 fps, looks great. Audio is cutting constantly.

I uninstalled the game and reinstalled the game on my SSD. That fixed the issue for me!

In sound settings, make sure each device is set to 16 bit, 41000 hz (cd quality). 48000+ can cause audio problems in certain situations.

I don't even have that option, it starts at 44100hz

Ok, I did this, a tip from the first descendant forum, idk if this is the cause, but the game ran fine for me after I did it:

Your shader cache may be wonky and in need of clearing. If you don't know how to do so, I'll help you out.

If you're using an NVIDIA card, open the NVIDIA Control Panel and navigate to Manage 3D settings > Global Settings > Shader Cache Size, and change it to Disabled.

Restart your PC, open File Explorer, navigate to this path:

"C:\Users\YourUserNameHere\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\GLCache"

Delete the folder with all the numbers and letters. In NVIDIA Control Panel, change the shader cache back to its original value or just 5GB to be safe, and reboot once more. When you launch The First Descendant, it should rebuild its shader cache and hopefully fix your performance.

If you're using an AMD graphics card, open AMD Radeon Software, click the gear icon in the top-right, click Graphics, scroll down and expand Advanced section, and hit "Reset Shader Cache".

Hopefully this should fix it for you. I limited my FPS to 10 when I walked away from my machine before when the game was building the shader cache and when I came back and put my FPS back to normal my game ran at 20-30FPS constantly. I relaunched the game to see if it was just a fluke and it stayed. I had to clear my shader cache and leave my FPS uncapped while the shader cache was building and it played smooth.

This worked well and fixed all problems for me

All I did was switch it from my d drive to C Drive I seen the game is meant to be played on a Ssd and not HDD maybe that’ll help you

[dobermaxx69]

I fixed mine. I'm using a Samsung Q990D Atmos Soundbar so I installed Dolby Access so I can have Atmos for Spatial Audio. It was Spatial Audio that was causing my issues. First, I turned it off and audio issues got fixed. Second, I just uninstalled and reinstalled Dolby Access now Spatial Audio now works as well. If it's not Spatial Audio making your game have cutting and out of sync audio, maybe try verifying integrity of game files.

This worked for me but I have to keep doing it. Like it was fine for a day or two after I did this then the issue appeared again.

Try to turn on mono audio on your pc
