Now I am Experiencing a distinctly different problem:

http://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/1291817208503194332/
____________________________________________________________________

Initial Problem

During a match, often at the end, the sound cuts out or begins a continuous loop of the last shot fired or any random sound.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Temporary Solutions

(See UPDATE II for Complete Solution)

The only ways I have been able to resolve this issue are:

1.) Turn off and on the physical speakers. (This only provides a temporary fix before looping continues)

2.) Restarting CSGO and Turning off and on the physical speakers. (When the Temporary fix "1" fails to work)

3.) Computer Reboot. (Last resort to fix, inconvenient but has worked every time)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(UPDATE I)

The sound issue persists despite many driver updates and Windows Troubleshooting.

- Is anyone aware of this problem?
- Is there any possible solution to this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(UPDATE II) <TENTATIVE SOLUTION>

The problem was pointed out by Steam user: http://steamcommunity.com/id/badmotha :

Nvidia driver version: "382.33 is hugely bugged driver."

- Recently a Solution to this problem was found!

Steam user: http://steamcommunity.com/id/badmotha suggested to:

"DDU out drivers and redo:
- Intel Chipset INF
- NVIDIA Geforce (custom > forceware + physx, nothing else)
- update your Audio and LAN drivers from chipset maker's site."

<Heads Up> DDU will require your computer to enter SAFE-Mode!

Important information about DDU:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(UPDATE II) Additional Information

Additionally, http://steamcommunity.com/id/badmotha recommends the following:

"If others still have issues with this, could be overheating or poor power supply.

Run CPU + GPU stress tests outside of Steam/Games and see how hot the CPU + GPU is getting after about 15 mins on a full load."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Update III)

Unfortunately, the most recent fix has failed to be a permenent solution .


Now CSGO experiences the same problem listed in the preamble. With a new twist!

When playing the sound drivers crash and appear to switch to another audio device. The only "fix" I have found thus far is to disable this other audio device and re-enable the correct device.

(Update III + 0.5)

The above method failed to work.

- Is anyone aware of this problem?
- Is there any possible solution to this?

Thanks for the advice but, the sound issue persists despite many driver updates and windows troubleshooting.

I think it'd be a good idea to rule out hardware by trying to play the game on some Linux distribution(Antergos comes to mind if you're not that acquainted with Linux)

382.33 is hugely bugged driver.

DDU out drivers and redo:
- Intel Chipset INF
- NVIDIA Geforce (custom > forceware + physx, nothing else)
- update your Audio and LAN drivers from chipset maker's site.

Disable all other Audio Devices; such as if you have Digital Outs for TV or GPU; disable them.

I have "disabled" many Digital audio (HDMI)'s and Realtek Digital Audio devices that my computer thinks it has. The only Device currently enabled are my main speakers.

What Motherboard and/or Sound Card do you have?

Onboard sound, ASUS P6T motherboard. Sound interface is USB for my speakers.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Try disable Onboard Audio from BIOS
Disable all GPU Audio from Device Manager
Reinstall USB Audio (if there is an official driver)

If still issues, try another USB port for the Speakers/Headset
