Bluetooth Audio problem

[McBeer89]

Okay so audio is normal and then i boot the game and suddenly im listening through radio interference and im underwater. exit game, normal. Usually this happens when discord is trying to use my bluetooth mic. that is not the case. it's 100% the game causing this problem.

i've followed a few reddit tips.

1. disable the hands free mic: cause my audio to not work at all when i booted the game.

2. disable the hands free telephony in the properties. This cause my audio to sound like it was muting and unmuting rapidly.

3. plugging in wired headset (which may be damaged) cause audio to be mostly normal of VEEEEERY choppy when there was a lot of sounds happening at once.

i'm finding this audio situation unbearable to play the game. help.

game has serious problems with audio. If my headphones turn off (because of battery or I decided to reset them) the game just crashes. That means something in the game is not able to handle audio stuff at all. Game should not crash or have any effect when you mess with your audio devices.

Hah... well option 2 worked... i had to restart my pc. i guess i forgot to. but while the audio is now not muffled... it is extremely choppy when there is a lot going on in battle. not sure what to do.

I don't know if it will help in your case, but just give it a try.

Windows key - type 'services' and select - double click on 'Bluetooth Audio Gateway Service' - Click Stop button - Change the Startup type to Disabled - Click OK button
