Audio cut out (HELP ME)

[Josh Was Here]

I'm minding my own business when suddenly when entering a conversation with Wiseman the voiceovers just cut out along with many other sounds such as footsteps,reloading etc
I'm not prepared to restart long journey just for a small problem like this
I'd really appreciate some help with my problem

And your holding back basic information like specs and mods because of what?

Make sure you don't have too much running in the background. Unnecessary services should be turned off. Helper applications that check every hour for software updates need to be disabled. And don't run multiple processes at the same time (i.e. browser, media player and the game) as this can disrupt the game for doing its job.

Alternatively, increase the task priority of the game as this can work around such issues. But you're still doing good to remove and end any applications in the background.

If you don't want to restart from a previous save then you have to trust your quest log on what to do. You may also find quest walk-throughs as well as the wiki to be helpful to you.

I always do close background apps and How exactly do I make Fallout 4 top priority

Is the loss of audio just in the game, or in other programs ? You should be able to task switch to a browser and listen to a video anywhere on the web.

I have this happen to me on very rare occassions but it's related to me removing the USB headset and sleeping the PC to do other things. I save and reload F04 after I reset the sound device via Windows.

Couldn't you exit the game cleanly and restart from the exitsave?

My headset runs from my mic and audio aux ports
do you think it would have the same outcome

There are a few ways to do it.

Manually: simply start your Task Manager, go into the Details tab, right-click onto Fallout4.exe and assign it a new priority of "Above Normal" or "High".

Bilago's Fallout 4 Launcher is a mod, which replaced the default launcher and has a setting, which will start the game automatically with a higher priority.

And there are tools such as Process Lasso, which can do this for all sorts of applications.

You may want to try manually first and if you like it - it can reduce stuttering and improve responsiveness, too - switch to using Bilago's Fallout 4 Launcher.

Set fps to 60. Or 30 if the radio cutting off early bothers you like it does me
