Sound Crackling Problem

[Sonji]

After playing the game for a few minutes the games audio begins to crackle and get robotic. Eventually some of the dialogue near the end of when their talking gets cut out. Is anyone else having this issue? Whenever I restart the game it goes away but eventually it comes back.

I get the crackling the moment I launch the game and then it never goes away.

Me too

Unplugged my webcam and now it works fine. Reminds me of a similar problem I had with a previous Telltale game where the game could crash if a 360 controller was plugged in.

I had this issue too. I changed the sound quality in my speaker settings to 16 bit, 44100 Hz, and that seemed to fix it.

Sound didn't crack for me at any time

I don't have anything but my headphones, keyboard, and mouse plugged in. Cannot seem to stop the crackling noise

I got the same thing, did you fix it?

I tried this, and it worked for a couple minutes until I had a fight in the rain on Witcher 3. Then the sound degraded completely.

Changing the speaker settings (in windows 10) to this fixed it for me too.
Not a Hz-setting higher; it will screw up the sound.

Thank you butterballbootybash (love the name btw)

I'm on Windows 10, can you tell me how to get the speaker settings up? I'm having trouble finding it

Just in case somebody searches for a solution in the future, dropping this here:
In my case I had activated the power saving energy plan and forgot to turn it off. #facepalm

That was the culprit of crackling aound and bad game performance.

Other people point to a windows 10 bug that might have been fixed by now. Other people change the sound quality as stated above
