Audio issues.

[he]

I use a bluetooth audio headset; whenever I launch the game, all of the audio on my PC completely cuts out. Anyone else having this issue?

I have the same problem, can fix it?

I have been looking for a solution online, but most posts suggest to reinstall the drivers, THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I just built this computer about a month ago and I can assure you is either their anti-cheat system, or they dint take into account that PC players can actually select different audio inputs and outputs, so whatever they are trying to implement has a ton of us hard locked into this LIMBO of either terrible audio or no audio at all.
Do not reinstall anything, and do not disable anything. This is on their side of the fence when it comes to fixing it. Unfortunately this means I will definitely not play the game until they fix this problem.

Can't even refund cause i got my game from a 3rd party so i can get it cheaper, now i got no money and no game , serves me right i guess. Never pre-ordering again.

I would say, font kick the bucket yet, remember that this is a port from a PS title, they will iron the problems but it will take about a week or a month, hopefully the first one. The game definitely seems fun, and if they get handled with the negative review treatment, they will be forced to update quick.

Anyone has any updates of how this game is running on PS5?

it's most likely different input and output source chosen by the game, New World and Warzone had the same issue when used with bluetooth. But in those two cases in audio you could change the sources of the audio and it would fix there, but here for some reason it didn't got to their minds to add an option in settings for changing audio sources. Ffs, it's 2024

There's this, but it doesn't work, i think

[Rain]

same here

Yeah, the fact that there's not an option for choosing your audio source(s) in a PC game in 2024 is baffling

I tried connecting my headphones through the wire, but it didn't get any better. Only the music remains in the game, no other effects can be heard.

For those still having issues, this lovely fella found our solution! https://steamcommunity.com/app/553850/discussions/0/4206994023680989423/ At least, for my headphones it worked.

I have the same issues, cuts in and out

[Syrus_The_Virus]

Same. Bluetooth earbuds.

Telephone audio issue is a windows issue called Handsfree Telephony. Open your bluetooth settings and click "View more devices" (near the top) then scroll down till you see "More devices and printer settings" (near the bottom). Right click on your headphones and click Properties. Then the services tab. Uncheck "Handsfree Telephony" and click ok. Should fix that particular issue.

anyone still experiencing problems, here is what I did to disable my hands-free audio device on my Bluetooth headset.

Open Windows Settings.
go to Bluetooth and other devices
Scroll down to Related Settings > Click Devices and Printers (i know this doesn't make sense but trust). This will open the control panel.
There, locate your Bluetooth device, right click on it, and select Properties.
select Hardware Tab, not the services, unticking hands-free in services tab doesn't work.
select hands free (Sound, video game controllers), click properties button
click change settings in general tab
click driver tab and click disable device.
Restart (turn off and on again) your headphones.

I was able to adjust my audio output settings down to 2 channels, 16 bit, 16000hz and I'm able to hear all my audio again. it might work for some of you.
